I think it comes down to who ever is looking after ur case in Montreal!! Maybe that person is off for a few days, or has other personal appts, thus slowing down the release of the visa! Glad u got a response!!

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

Don't go by Canada Post tracking site. In my opinion it's not very reliable. When I was tracking mine it wasn't showing on the tracking site and the day it did show as being entered in Montreal the mailman was at the door that morning with my Visa

It'll get to you soon :thumbs::thumbs:

Hang in there schmelle! It will show up this week!

Yes, while Canada Post did get my Husband's visa here in record time, I believe I checked it the day before it arrived and it still said it was at the P.O. in Montreal.

so my magic 8 ball was wrong...today was not the special day. :angry:

stupid 8 ball.

hey all...

my visa showed with canada post last night but it was accepted early yesterday morning in montreal. i just called canada post and she told me it should have arrived today. well it didnt. i'm so upset now. tickets to florida have doubled after today...going to cost so much more now to fly once it does arrive. i'm so discouraged. i mean i know it's not the end of the world but it's just really trying my patience. sorry to vent...got nowhere else to really vent where people understand.

thanks again.
