Our XpressPost Visa packet has been accepted at the post office today (yay), I'm curious how long do you think it'll take to get to the Niagara Region? The CO said it could come by Friday but he doubts it. We are doing regional and CPosts website said it can be next day or 2nd day. Well it was accepted today, I'm banking on Monday, but has anyone been in a situation where it was sent from Montreal and made it even farther in a short amount of time?

Also,

The CO said when we POE to make it count, he said to have at least something showing our address and or accounts or something. He also mentioned getting advanced parole so my wife could travel back and forth until the actual green card comes, what's he talking about, the stamped passport acts as the green card.

I'm still at my parents address, the only ties my wife has to US right now is she has bank accounts with Bank of America..and me. I want to POE ASAP, just to get it out of the way and to start the processing of stuff so we get SSN, green card, etc sooner, rather than later.

I was hoping to do it this Saturday if we got it tomorrow...if we did, we wouldn't be turning right around, we have a party to go to, but if we don't get it, shes not going to that party in the states. We'd just be coming back into Canada later that night then sitting and waiting until our house and closing goes through, THEN we'd come over withi the Uhaul...

what do you all think?

Thanks.

I'm a bit confused about what they meant by "make it count" at POE. I understood that all the domicile proof we sent (US address, accounts, etc.) would be contained in "THE ENVELOPE" that we present at POE. ??

I think he was "implying" that our POE should be "the move" (for my wife)...

but he didn't come out and say it explicitally. I think they are told to say it, but I bet they know well, that it's not necessary.

Now I know that at the Nexus bridge, which my wife and I have, I was in there talking to CDN and american officers in there and joking around with them.., a bit as well as asking questions, they said that " yes, we can activate POE, and turn right around..." I told them our situation, they didn't seem to think it a problem. Our situation being, we're waiting to move into our own house, we're not going to activate POE and live with my parents as I'm doing now. But I want to activate it just to start processing.

i wonder what days they actually drop them off in the express box..or to the post office. it's looking like they only do it twice a week or somethign similar.

when i went to buy my mailer at canada post and said it would take a week to get it the post lady freak dout and said they HAD to deliver it within 2 days as it is a 2 day mailer. course as i said just above it all depends on when the consulate decides to hand it off to the post.

wish we knew what days they did, would save me a hell of a hassle come april 1st as i need to be out of my apartment by then /sigh
