Congrtas to all who passed their interview. I had been away for a while. I will be flying to Montreal for my wife's interview which is on Monday. I checked the DHL website to track the package but I couldn't find it. AVR says it was mailed out to the embassy on June 16. I checked the whole week but I didn't see any packages mailed to Canada between June 13 and 17. Maybe I didn't check the right way. I am suppose to put EXP 16 JUN 2011A right? i played around with the date but no luck.

I found one going to Montreal, Canada with the ref using the 16th. The tracking number is 8832951374 and it arrived on the 20th.

I also found one using the ref with the 15th. Tracking number is 8816029460 and it arrived on the 17th.

I didn't choose any destination laughing.gif I just went through the entire list of packages for the reference number and stopped when I found one heading to Montreal, Canada.

I know that procedures were made for a good and logical reason, but in my case it turned onto torture, and it is about time for me to join my husband.

I found one going to Montreal, Canada with the ref using the 16th. The tracking number is 8832951374 and it arrived on the 20th.

I also found one using the ref with the 15th. Tracking number is 8816029460 and it arrived on the 17th.

I wonder if one of those packages are ours! We had cc on the 14th :) I had problems the first few times trying to track the packages too.
