Did you get any answers? Are you a K1 going through Montreal? If so, you can find the list of what the packet is on the consulate website, and the checklist is a list of what you will need to bring to the interview. I just signed the list and included it with the packet three. Please don't make the same mistake I did and not do the electronic DS 160, and print the confirmation page for that, and sent the confirmation page with your packet 3. I didn't do that and it set me back a month when they finally mailed me a later saying I needed to send it.

Hope this helps

No, the checklist addresses BOTH K1s and CR1/IR1s, which have different requirements. You only have to send what Frostiana listed in her post, IF you are a K1. Some of the things in the checklist do not apply to you.

You should check out this link that Inky included in her post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/327503-k1-guide-montreal/ These are detailed instructions and tips for K1s going through Montreal. Please read through it, it'll only take a minute.

All the forms that Frostiana listed are available on the Montreal consulate's website here http://montreal.usconsulate.gov/content/content.asp?section=visas&document=visa_pkt3

One of the forms you will be filling out says it needs a police certificate and a birth certificate and various other documents. DO NOT MAIL YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR POLICE CERTIFICATE TO MONTREAL, or anything OTHER than the actual "forms" that Frostiana listed. Montreal will look at your birth certificate, police certificate, etc. on the day of your interview.

Hope this helps! Also if all the capitalized letters comes off as rude or yelling, it's not how I intended it- I just wanted to emphasize it since it's probably the next question you'll run into So sorry if that's how it looks!

Thanks Pocheros.. you're a good writer ! Yes and when we say do not mail your birth certificate or police certificate, we mean don't mail the original... but DO mail a COPY with the package. Same with any other certificates you send, for example if you have a previous marriage and divorce. If you don't have a long form birth certificate, you can order it from a records office...I was in Ontario and ordered it from the Registrar's office in Toronto.

Actually, it's not necessary to mail a copy of those documents with Packet 3 either (this is all assuming the OP is a K1- I have no idea what the process is for CR1, or if they even get a Pkt3). The copies should also be presented on the day of the interview. For packet 3, just the forms, 2 passport photos, and a photocopy of the biographic info page of the canadian's passport is sufficient.
