How do you track this? I didn't see anything pertaining to Canada on here.

The 3rd track on the list is for Vancouver, the 4th is Montreal. I discovered this today looking through the forums. When I went back to look at my info, the NVC said it was sent to MTL on 8/13, but there isn't anything sent to MTL until the 17th, arrived the 20th, and I received packet 3 on the 17th...so I have no idea if this tracking is accurate, or if they just did mine all digitally.

Update:

I called DOS right at 8:30 am this morning. Got a wonderful lady named "Cookie". :P

She said that MTL issued our Packet 3 on October 11, 2012 - yesterday. I'm so happy! :D

I will have everything ready to go and sent back to them by overnight courier on Monday!!

Yay!!! Make sure your photos are good! A couple of us got our photos refused for different reasons last month, not to worry it doesn't stall the case, but extra postage! Hope you get lucky and get an early date!

Oh, I didn't realize there were a few people. Mine were refused, because they didn't like the background on them (I kinda had a gut feeling they would be rejected though - I did them through that epassport photo site, and they looked great in the digital version, but the printer at Wal-Mart was not calibrated properly at all, and the background wasn't white). Now I'm debating whether to just take more (expensive) official passport photos for the medical, or to do them myself through the site again, but take them somewhere other than Wal-Mart... maybe Blacks?

Katie, I went to Shopper's Drug Mart - $10.99. I've always had good quality from there and so far haven't been refused. And if there is a problem with the pics, take the receipt back and they will re-do them for free! :luv:

Sweet, that's not too bad. I spent $20 in Buffalo on 2 sets of pics where neither were acceptable (still pissed about that one... We walked all the way from Niagara Falls to the closest pharmacy, and they forced me to buy pics that CLEARLY had a huge amount of glare on my glasses), and then another $15 to get them done right at some little photo shop in T.O.

Yeah, I wish I did it that way the first time around :/ Lesson learned! I ended up buying 8 for like 27 dollars or something?

Plus all the first false attempts also.. I think I've spent over $100 in passport photos these last 2 years. (had to get my passport done twice last time, too)

I had to buy 3 sets of passport photos for myself plus 2 kids. I spent $117 at Shopper's Drug Mart. But at least I know if they are not acceptable I can get replacements for free. :yes:
