MTL Timeline to Interview

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Yup I believe it is July 9

I thought their site said they will stop processing other types of visas mid-July

Yup, they will stop processing visitor, work and student visas.- IMO... who cares he he he.... all I care about is OUR visas my dear VJ'ers!!!! selfish, yes, but priceless!

Called MTL on Wednesday, we got our visa interview!

They got my package Jan 18th and my interview was scheduled on May 22nd (the day before I called, ironically enough), our date is July 5th. I got the package in the mail today.

I'm glad I have a few weeks before I need to start panicking. We should set up a support group for those of us who have interviews the same day so we can defuse together after we survive the interviews!

I've been off VJ for a while, because I was just waiting ... and waiting ... and-- well, everyone hear knows that state intimately. Is the timeline list now a document instead of a post? Have I missed anything exciting?

I'm so happy we finally got our date! Wahee!

Wooohoooooo Super congrats!!!

Galateia........congrats on the interview FINALLY!! I was starting to worry about you.....thought you gave up on us or something.

So yeah I started a word doc with all the Montreal timelines listed and a few that werent. Riblet was doing the previous one right on the page but for some reason I can't get the format right when I try to add info.

anyway.......here's the word doc and if you have trouble I can email it to you directly

Where did you see that info? If true, that makes me very excited. With the speed up at CSC and possibly now at Montréal, we may be able to get married at our wedding or at least very shortly thereafter.

Congratulations on your interview Galateia!!

I wonder if Alan and Sharon have contacted Montreal recently?? It looks like they've been passed over even though their congressman contacted Montreal on their behalf I do believe (correct me if I'm wrong )

I had called them on Tuesday and they said no interview booked yet ... I'm really hoping for good news next week.

Awww, you remembered me?

I did manage to download the file, but it seems to be only one page and I'm not on it anywhere ... maybe it's because I use Open Office? Also, what's the best way to find out who else has an interview on the same day? I was serious when I suggested Vjers get together after the interviews to relax and blow off steam! Who else would really understand the rollercoaster this has been!

Thanks for the congrats, everyone!

So far you are the only one in July, Hopefully we will get some more July interview dates soon

That's my prayer too Lance... planning to call MTL today!

L.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

OK.... so I called MTL about half an hour ago. The usual 20 minutes on hold, then I was lucky enough NOT to get Mrs. Nasty. Interview will be in August. I give up. They keep changing the dates on me... she did however put a note in the file with "available on short notice" i.e. 24 hours, just in case.

Will call again in 2 weeks, and then again in another 2, and then I will go to West Edmonton Mall and start shooting badly dressed people (kidding).

Oh! and she repeated what we've heard b4: that people don't cancel, they just don't show up..... ARGHHHHH

(also posted in DCF thread...)

I was told July/August at latest today. They also put a note in file for cancellations (or atleast they said they did)

...good for you Lance27... though, it is funny that we have almost the same timelines/dates but the interview "likeliness" is one month apart!..... i was told Aug/Sep!

Yeah, I've learnt not to put too much into what MTL says... I will believe July or August when I see the P4 letter
