Canada post is slow!! Sorry 1 would think with all this technology, they (Immigration) could just email ya with what they require! Accomplishing 2 things! 1) saves the the fee of mailing the item 2) it is soo much faster (and free) They send you the email, and in that email there is a REPLY link stating you got the email!! If no reply, they then snail mail it!! But that all makes too much sense,lol Last fall I did hear a radio interview with a top immigration official, and they do want to go more electronic! Best of luck

That would eb really great if they just email it to me..but guess what? I emailed them twice...no response that makes us call them.

Hi Sheree,

Sorry you are going through all this hassle. You mentioned that you called Montreal, my understanding is that they don't take phone calls anymore. Can you please let us know what number you used and what time of day you called.

Thanks!

maybe a rookie at the MTl Consulate,lol I'm sure Grumpy lady will sort him out!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
