Can I send a courier to the Montreal Consulate with my paperwork?

[domegirl1978 1]

Hi guys!

Do any of you know if its possible for me to send my checklist and DS-230 to the Montreal Consulate by courier instead of snail mail?

If its possible then that would be awesome because I would get the stuff over there Monday morning first thing.

Thanks everyone!

The address is a PO Box if I remember correctly. I wouldn't really bother. I'd send it Xpresspost.

It takes them some time to get you into the system, so ultimately you're going to end up in a big pile anyways, so a day or two in the end isn't really going to influence when you get an interview to be honest.

I sent in my packet 3 in November and people who sent theirs in January got an interview before me, so there's really no rhyme or reason.

Thanks Sapphire. A courier can't deliver to a P.O. box so Expresspost it is.

If you go to the consulates website it says specifically no courriers are allowed to deliver to that address.

I have a long standing distrust of Canada Post and always courier.

So Ron/Sharon, you had no problems sending your checklist and DS-230 to that address you provided for me?

If thats the case then maybe I WILL send it by courier. Please let me know.

Thanks very much!

Anything and everything I send and have sent to Montreal was send through UPS and I have never had anything returned. Always ask for an e-mail confirmation with the signature and track your delivery.

All the best to you

Try this one, you will have to scroll down a bit. You will see in the box on the right two addresses the fisrt is locationand at the end it is written for courier service or something like that, and the second address is for mail.

Confirmed by the Consulate through an email to me stating:

Yes you may send it by courier . Please remember to use your case number when contacting this office.

So I am definitely sending it by courier to this address:

General Montréal

Location 1155 rue St-Alexandré

Montréal, Québec

H3B 1Z1

for courier deliveries

And I'm sending them a short letter inside stating my case number so nothing gets lost or tied up with issues. Maybe I'll even include the front page of my packet 3 just as an extra precaution.

THANKS RON/SHARON for letting me know about this. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for pointing that other link to us Ron/Sharon. It seems the govt websites can never say the same thing on half of them lol.
