Well, if they're focussing on catching up on the backlog instead of answering everyone's calls, hopefully that's a good thing!

Naw - they were just starting the Quebec long weekend early Hence the 'back on Tues' comment

Sunday June 24th is St. Jean Baptiste Day (Quebec only) the Consulate will be closed on Monday to compensate for the holiday being on a weekend and that may be why the message said call on Tuesday.

Udella&Wiz you beat me to it.

As the USC, to all the Canadians, I apologize. I am ashamed that the consolate in Montreal is in any way associated with my country. I wish I knew what their problem was but I have complained to my congressman. There is just no sense in the way that they do things.

Wiz.... apology accepted even if I'm not Canadian he he. I just live here, with my USC non-Canadian husband for the serendipity of graduate schooling.

And yup there's no sense. I read earlier today the timelines for people in Europe (London, Germany) and felt like going on murderous rampage but controlled myself.... for now

Len, insane.

Just to update you, Still nothing from Montreal. I've been spending most of my time trying to convince Sharon not to give up, but she's about at the point of complete despair. She's been living in a room at the YWCA for a while since all of this was supposed to have happened by April, originally. Those 4 walls have been closing in on her for a long time now, and I can understand her frustration waiting for what has seemed like an eternity now. (Just to let you know, she couldn't renew her lease since she was anticipating the move here way back at the first part of this year, so the "Y" was a "temporary" stopgap for a month or two until the appointment. Well, that's turned into 6 months, and looking like it will drag on for at least another couple of months.) I'll let you know.

Omg .. I'm soo sorry this has happened to you both .. have you called Montreal lately?

[L_n_O 3]

that's awful..

can't she get something really temporary? Like a 3 month lease in the basement of a house?

That'd be better than the Y's 4 walls and a bed..

look at craigslist.org

living like that can really depress a person...
