Processing Statistics...consulate missing

[dburnt 59]

I see the Vancouver and Montreal consulates listed for Canada, but not the one in Toronto. I am trying to determine average processing time from receipt to issuance of K1 visa for Toronto (it is the largest of the consulates in Canada...at least judging by the number of doctors supporting medicals there (4 to only 1 in the other two offices).

Welcome to the forum.

The US consulates in Montreal and Vancouver are the only ones that process K1 visas:

There are more doctors there, as stated only Montreal and Vancouver do K1 visas. IR1/CR1 have to go to Montreal. So if you're east of Manitoba, you're headed to Montreal for the interview.

great :-(

Another week off work just to travel. Official cost of this process will be in the thousands.

Yup, it is not cheap to immigrate! We mistakenly got a lawyer before finding out about this site. Our process, including AOS after getting married, cost us close to $9000. Not including the time it took to go to Toronto for the medical (twice, second time to pick it up) Montreal for the interview and the actual cost of moving. We moved ourselves down using my mother in laws car (as it is an SUV), and packing in as much as we could pack (I didn't have furniture to move, just left it all at my parents for the now guest room).
