Booking an interview at Montreal…

Don't you just want to scream at them and tell them that you have tried speaking to an operator but keep getting automatically disconnected!!

So frustrating

What's frustrating is that Matty's girl got that email saying April appointments are going to be available soon and yet today we get this non sense of them explain how the appointment scheduling works......we all know how it works we want to know when they will be available!!!

Hey Everyone,

Just got thru on the Toronto number to an actual live human being and they said that the system is down for about 3 hours.

Did they happen to mention why it will be down?

No sorry I should have asked..didn't think of it...guess I was shocked at actually speaking to a human being on the phone.

I'm either holding on desperately to my sense of humour or I've completely lost my mind, but this made me laugh. In this entire process so far, and especially in dealings with Montreal, do you really expect to get a straight answer? Or even information consistent with anything else you've been told?

The only thing I know for sure about this process is nobody's got any "for sure" info, and it'll happen when it happens.

Good luck everyone! Keep trying!

The site is back up and running but still no appointments available.

Green Giant,I just called to try and book over the phone. The operator that I spoke with confirmed that there is nothing open. I asked him if he knew when the next slots of appointments would be open and he could tell me nothing. I asked if there was a specific time during the month that they release the next rounds of appointments...again nada! Sorry my VJ friend but I tried. I will keep psycho dialing them every day if I have to until something comes up...

I tried the psycho dialing last fall LOL and after the first couple of times it just went to a hold thing. They have their ways and all the operators would ever say was "I see what you see" in other words they had no inside track or information at all. We went the same exact frustration that you guys are going through and here we are now with our greencards, so don't worry, when it is over it will feel so great!!! IT is definitely a ridiculous way to have to book an appointment but .. they hold all the cards. We nicknamed the appointment site the "disappointment site". LOL Start gathering your information for booking a hotel and your medical... it will all happen fast after you get your appointment!

Hope this adds some kind of comfort.

Is anyone besides me still getting a wonky web site? The main page is coming up ok finally, and the "technical difficulties" message is finally gone as of this afternoon, but once I log in, I get all these crazy text-only pages instead of the normal format. Anybody else?

I've been getting some of those the past couple of days too... no idea if they mean anything though.

We called the DOS this morning just to see if they have any insight on the appointment situation. The rep I spoke to (Cookie was her name) was very helpful and said April dates should be available soon and to try around the 15th. Who knows if this info is right or wrong but just thought I'd share!
