We were expedited!

We had finally given up on getting our interview date before my fiance was deployed. Then, I got a random email saying only this: 'we mailed you a letter today, your interview is Aug 28'

So.. I need to get from Nova Scotia to montreal in three days and bid farweel to everyone. I'm not even sure I have what I need because I wont even be able to receive the letter before I hop on the next plane out of here.

Is there a copy of the usual letter they send with the date online here anywhere? I would liek to see a copy of it before I leave so I can make sure I have recieved everything.

Also, I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to stay in montreal and pick up my visa y hand instead of me having to fly BACK to NS to wait. It's cheaper and quicker for me to stay in montreal and fly to the US from there.

You are supposed to bring in a self-addressed XPress Post envelope. So if you are staying in MTL, just address it to your hotel. I believe they do not let you pick up your visa unless you need your passport for travel.

Congrats on the interview and start packing girl!!!

Calm down, make a short list so you know you are covered, then go from there. Triple check the list, over and over then you can rest assured you have everything.

Again i am happy for you!

Bring the email copy you received of the appointment - usually you are supposed to bring your appointment letter with you but obviously you won't have it by appointment time. Congratulations and good luck.

You got an expedited interview because your partner is going to be deployed...I think that's probably going to be an excellent reason for why you could request, and I'm thinking get your visa done up immediately, or the next day. Please ask about this. There are provisions for emergency reasons for this to be done, at the Consulate's discretion. I believe you'd have a good chance. Even an Xpresspost could take a week or more. This situation calls for you receiving it much sooner I'm thinking.

Bring a copy of the email you received and they'll let you in for your appointment.

Glad to hear you got the interview expedited. Let us know the outcome! Best of luck!

I will bring a copy of the email for sure. Even though it just has one sentence on it.. haha

There are no suprises on the letter theyusually send us with the interview date, is there because I won't be able to recieve it before I fly out tomorrow.
