MTL Timeline to Interview

[KathrynP 0]

I sent package 3 to Montreal today. How will I know when I enter the waiting list for an interview?

Just wondering for those of you that wrote down your tracking number for your XpressPost envelope... how long after your interview did you notice that Montreal had sent your passport?... today is only the 2nd "business" day after my husbands interview (Jan 25th) and Canada Post shows nothing sent as of tonight.. Just wanting to get it in our hands so we can finalize moving plans...

Today I followed a friends advice and finally emailed Montreal just to 'check the status & make sure they received my Packet 3'-even though I KNEW I would get no reply except the automated:

Dear MONTREAL CONSULATE GENERAL:

My lawyer sent back his packet 3 information on January 29, 2008, on behalf of (my fiance). I wanted to confirm receipt of his Packet 3 information as we have had problems in the past with mailing in Canada. Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

(my fiance & me)

Of course, I got the typical automated reply. BUT, less than two hours later, I got this:

YES WE DID RECEIVE IT YOU SHOULD BE REVEIVING AN APPOINTMENT IN APRIL OR MAY

Thats it, no opening, no closing-but an IDEA of WHEN we may possibly get an interview. I am very excited-at the same time, a little sad because I was secretly hoping for a miracle interview earlier! HAHA-maybe our 'miracle' will be an early April appointment? We WILL SEE!

:jest:

I think it should happen pretty fast

look at the list!

Wow - so lately its been 3-4 months instead of 6???

We just sent our Packet 3 back the other day.

I *hope*, really really really hope, that this works out well. If we get an interview in July it will be a few months before Mary moves, and she cant move sooner because of a wedding in August we have to go to.

I hope its not before that because we have a ton of planning here to do
