how long does it take for visa to arrive from MTL?

[burnsis 0]

I have my interview next week, and I am pretty certain(knock on wood) that I will be approved. Just wondering how long it takes to get your passport w/ visa back from express post?

Lot of variables. Where do u live in canada?? How soon the consulate mails it out. Sometimes they mail it out right away, other times, it takes a few days for them to just get it into the mail!

Danielle had her interview this past Friday (10/17) and the officer said it will be mailed out Monday. Assuming thats the case,

she should be getting it today or tomorrow by the latest. Assuming Canadapost is pretty reliable like couriers here, 2-day delivery

generally means its there. Even if its late on the 2nd day, I've always had 2-day service be on time. She gets it today or tomorrow,

I go up Saturday, and we're all back in FL by next Tuesday

Good luck, you'll do just fine.

Ah okay....I am in the Toronto area...so shouldn't be too long.

According to the list, I only need my medical, photos, and passport. Everything else is paid and there:)

Baaaad assumption.. I'm sure big city to big city is fine.. but not so reliable to little places I'm afraid

Good luck! Hopefully I will be in your position 10 months or so from now. Let us know how it goes; any info is great to help us prepare for when we get to that stage.

I lived in Edmonton. My interview was on a Friday and the following Monday was a holiday. Gentleman said he'd hope to have it in the mail by Tuesday. It arrived on Friday morning. So super fast in my case.

Thanks for the info and the wishes of luck. I really hope I get it this time. I had gotten all the way to the interview last time and it was in Korea. They felt that my criminal background check wasn't good enough b/c they had the right to request a more thorough one with fingerprints being an embassy abroad. The one I gave them had allowed me to teach children in the Korean public school for three years, but not good enough for them to say that I can get a visa. So, time ran out and I had to transfer the case to my homeland of Canada. In effect though, nothing transferred, as I had to fill out all papers again and pay ALL of the fees again. No refunds from Korea.

I really hope that this time it works, otherwise I am thinking it just isn't meant to be.

^^ I had a friend who had the same thing happen with Korea! Only she moved back halfway through the process and had to restart too! Good Luck!

Well here's to hoping it arrives.

Question though...if you pay for a service that says 2 days, but arrives later than that, shouldn't you be entitled to a refund or discount? I just think that if businesses

could promise one thing and deliver another, less suitable service or product, wouldn't that be grounds for complaints?

Canada Post will refund you if you can prove it was late. They've refunded me the shipping before when I've sent XpressPost. It does take about 3 months for them to "investigate" though and it still arrives late, they don't really care about that part.

Don't know about the refund part but just so you know, I'm still waiting for mine as well. I keep checking the tracking number on the Canada Post website and it doesn't show up as being mailed. I checked the Consulate website and they say it can take from three to five business days to mail the visa

Well if thats the case, then we're screwed...we have a flight on Tuesday the 28th. In a way, I did feel booking a flight so soon after the interview

was being quick, but I assumed that it would arrive by that time. I'm hoping if the worst case scenario is that we can't fly, that Delta will work with

us on our flight arrangements.

I shouldn't think like that though, I should be thinking happy thoughts
