So we are just about ready to send in Package 3 to Montreal and I went last night to register on the CSC site for being able to sign up for Courier Service. Everytime I went to do it by following the instructions from this website, it kept looping me back to scheduling an interview. I don't want to and can't schedule an interview yet. Is anyone else having problems doing this? Am I not able to register for Loomis until we get packet 4?

Also, it said the next interview is 50 days away...so just a heads up for people looking to get an interview soon. Its about a 2 month wait at this point.

Any help would be great.

Thank you

Yeah for Montreal. Ugh is right! I'm sort of ok with it though because knowing its 50 days, we are able to plan better. It sucks because everything has gone so fast and I wish this would too. We got NOA2 after 88 days. So maybe its catching up to us haha. Good luck!

I understand what you mean! We got our NOA2 after only 43 days (insane, I know! :wow: ) but we took a bit of time to send them P3 because he was visiting me and we kept getting wrong information from the DOS about whether they had sent it yet or not. Hopefully some interview spots open up earlier.

He's not planning on moving until January anyways but the sooner we have the visa in hand, the sooner I can send wedding invitations and start booking my vendors/venue! :yes:

We are having the same problem, and have the same question! Can anyone help? Can we just send packet three by expresspost?

We filed for the I129 in early February and only got approval the same time as you. Makes no sense at all. Montreal is showing a 63 day wait now, so we want packet 3 in ASAP.

We actually just sent out P3 today and just ate the the cost of the $2 shipping. You can get everything at the Montreal website for whats needed for P3. So we just sent out at our own costs. My fiance went to the Shoppers Drugmart and sent it out for $2. Should get there in 2-4 days. So that works for me I guess. I will be calling DOS every day to see if they have it yet. But we aren't in any hurry for interview as I cannot get the time off work to go with him to Montreal until November (and its important to us that we both go).

But good luck!

Just a note that you really don't have to go. Plenty of Cdns have gone alone to the interview. It doesn't affect the outcome, Montreal certainly understands that people have to work etc etc etc... :)

Oh I know that I don't HAVE to go, but its something we both want. I want to be there for support for him and I would be a nervous wreck if I was sitting at work while he was in Montreal doing his interview. :innocent: So we are going to go together and then spend a weekend HOPEFULLY celebrating together :)
