So I had my Interview in Montreal for my CR1 Visa on Jan 27th and received my Passport with 6 month temp Visa sticker in it and the packet to give to the Border when I cross at my POE today Feb 02. Not bad at all! I thought I would have to wait longer but its here! Tracking at Canada Post wasn't too bad and I signed for it because I waited outside like a child waits for his school bus for the postman. I told the postman I've been waiting for that,its my passport, he said, "thats a pretty big passport!" Lol.

Anyway, to all who awaits, good luck, many blessings and make sure you have all your paper work in line, oh yea and If you live on the westcoast, and have to go Montreal, check the weather before you go and dress for it! Scarf, gloves, toque/beanie, boots!

So you already crossed right? Because today is Feb 02 and its getting late. Just curious because you use future tense.
