Hey everyone!

Just had my interview in Montreal on the 6th of february and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long it has taken them to receive their VISA after the interview. They told me a week or more but I was hoping you guys with real experience could let me know. I am so anxious to be able to head down south!

Let me know, and thanks for all the help over the last year and through this process!

It varies from one consulate to another. We went through Maroc and it was about 3 months from the interview to visa in hand. Id advise checking out the timelines and the regional forum for the most specific info. There you can hook up with others who've already been through the same consulate.

Good luck for a speedy approval! :thumbs:
