Good luck, hope we get to go "home" for Christmas :) I emailed Montreal 4 days ago, nothing yet...maybe today! Trying to stay positive but its oh so hard!! :thumbs:

Yeah, it's so hard to stay positive. My fiance and I are trying to stay positive but it is tough when we thought, "This is it! We get to be together!" and then it didn't happen. I was supposed to be there by today/tomorrow, so it's particularly hard thinking about it.

Have you got your visa yet? I know someone who was put on AP and got their visa month after.

Embassies should be open, but prob closing early

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Maybe Tuesday as well.

If they follow the Canadian Statutory holiday schedule, Sunday is Christmas Day and Monday Boxing Day so Monday and Tuesday would be the days off.

Friday wouldn't be a holiday but chances are they'll close early as FlamesRN was saying.

Wow - good news, finally!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
