MTL Timeline to Interview

[Presgirl 0]

Hello All:

I'm going stir-crazy over here as Jon just returned to Toronto last night after a week-long visit. Since there really haven't been a ton of updates for May interviews -- except Charmie's whose profile I can't find -- I decided to bite the bullet and call. So I called, pressed 4, and immediately a woman picked up and said, "While I can't tell you for sure when the interview will be, we're nearly to your date (January 17th) so I'd expected a late May interview and a three-week notification window. Early June at the latest."

I never thought I'd be happy to hear late May, early June!

So I hope that's pretty accurate and that all of you with December system dates get notification in the next few days!

Thanks for the update. My timeline is very similar to yours. I sent another email to em this morning.

Hopefully it'll be something like they told you and May will be the time

Thanks Lance! I keep hoping that K-3 of yours will hurry on up!

OK, I think I should add that what we sent to MTL was not packet 3, but the checklist (is that packet 4?).

We are filing for a CR-1 through DCF. Add me! Add me!! Waiting frustration is so much better when shared!!!!

Merci, L.

After being told I would most likely get my certificate from the RCMP in August by the Consulate, I received it on Friday the 13th. I will be calling the Consulate and telling them I now have everything they require so I can be added to the interview waiting list.

Congratulations to those that have their date and Godd speed for those still anxiously waiting.

Ron

P.S. after having made a change a short time ago, please add us as having sent packet 3 back on April 16, 2007

Did the consulate mark you down as having sent in your packet 3 at an earlier date?

It took 55 days from the time they entered me into their system which was about 3 weeks after they actually recieved it I express mailed in mid January and was entered in the system on February 18 for a total of proximately 76 days. The RCMP site said 120+ days and when our NOA2 expired on April 7th I called the Consulate and told them I wasn't yet ready and why, they said 6 months according to information they recieved from the RCMP and I should expect the certificate in August. The biggest surprise was what the certificate said " This certifies that a search of the national criminal reords repository maintained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) concerning the person whose fingerprints, name and date of birth appear above could not be associated to any existing criminal record of conviction which may be diclosed in accordance with Federal laws." To some that would mean I don't have a criminal record when in fact it means I have one but since I was pardoned they under the law cannot disclose it, which means as per the Consulate I need a copy of my pardon and a copy of the court documents which I will have in my hands in two weeks.

As you can see from the following I was entered in the system on March 19, but a subsequent call a few weeks later to the Consulate and a conversation with evil one a.k.a the ###### of Montreal who accused me of trying to get on the list without having everything got me knocked off and told to call when I had it all together. So to answer you yes I was on the list for a short while and will be back on it as of tomorrow.

I have entered you as having all docs recd, The police certificate does not have to be taken with fingerprints unless you have had problems with the law.

Subject: RCMP check and other

I have requested an update on my request for a criminal background check with the RCMP, and I received a reply stating that my request was entered I their system on February 18, 2007, and it will take 120 plus days to process my request. The 120 plus days could run from May 20^th to July 20^th depending on whether they count 5 or 7 days as work days. Our visa process is valid until April 7^th, with the 4 month extension permitted by the consulate I would have until the 7^th of August to have everything finalized and I was wondering: 1. Does the interview have to be done on or before the 7^th of August deadline? 2. Could the checklist be sent to the consulate before the RCMP documentation is in my hands and check it as having been received?

3. I have a letter from the court where I was arraigned is it necessary to also have a statement from the arresting police force also which was a RCMP detachment?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.
