Packet 3 CheckList

[crockies99 0]

We are at the stage of sending in our Packet 3 to Montreal Consulate.

Question, as far as the checklist goes.

We are still waiting for finger prints to come back, police reports, and my taxes will be done in four days.

With that said, is it safe to send in Packet 3 now and mark everything as checked, knowing we will have it all done within 8 days?

It is not "safe" until you have everything in hand. Some would say: go ahead if you are confident you won't have any issues obtaining your documents; other would consider it a falsification to pretend you have obtained documents you don't have yet.

Whatever you choose to do, do NOT send an incomplete Packet 3. That would greatly slow your application process.

Yes it's fine to send back if you're confident you'll get the police check back soon. (BTW, you know fingerprint checks are only required if you have a criminal history right? Otherwise simple name checks are fine.) Usually takes 2-4 months after packet 3 to have your interview at Montreal. I sent packet 3 back the day after I received it and then went about obtaining all the documents. Also worth mentioning- packet 3 only contains the forms, 2 passport style photos and a photocopy of the biographic info page of your passport. It does NOT contain the birth certificate, police check etc.- those you bring to the interview.

It doesn't seem to make a big difference.

Good luck!
