    • 1-3 business days
      86
    • 4-7 business days
      107
    • 8-10 business days
      24
    • 11-14 business days
      18
    • More than 14 business days - they were just very slow.
      42
    • More than 14 business days - my circumstances were exceptional.
      22
  2. 2. If your wait was longer than expected, what do you think caused the delay?

    • The US Consulate in Montreal caused the delay.
      77
    • DHL delivery caused the delay.
      8
    • All of the above.
      7
    • None of the above. Something else caused the delay.
      16
    • None of the above. I was satisfied with the delivery time.

Yup, same issue here. Has anyone had it appear on the website recently?

My visa arrived at the DHL branch this morning and now the CSC website updated with my waybill. Hmm!

Unless they told you to submit additional documentation at the interview or, you're birth country is different then Canada you're not in AP, or very unlikely so. Here's a link to athread a few pages back. Read Luvillionois's posts.

Weirdly enough, google maps doesn't show any businesses when I put in the address for my DHL office, and on the DHL website it doesn't list its phone number or hours of operation (but it lists this information for OTHER offices).

My fiancee got a call about 11:30AM from DHL to tell her that her passport is ready for pickup!!! DHL office is closed between 9 and 4 though, so she'll be going this afternoon.

Just thought I'd note that the DHL waybill tracking doesn't designate that its ready for pickup, nor does the CSC website.

POE tomorrow at 7AM, she'll be home by 1:30PM, hurrrrrah!!!!
