Gona gota go ta Montreal

[Ron/Sharon 0]

Now just how often can they (Canada Post) screw up? not only with incoming but outgoing mail before they see somethig is wrong. I have too many gripes to go through them all so I will deal only with the latest. Since Jan. 4th Montreal has sent 2 correctly addressed Packet 3s to me, the address was confirmed on Jan. 12 over the phone after the second packet was returned to them. On the 12th of Jan. they were given a different address to use and after having it read back and confirming its correctness, the packet was to be posted on the next day, that was 8 days ago for a total of 17 days since the first one was sent.

Even thought having the packet wouldn't in my mind speed up the process as there is still work to be done it would still be nice to have it here to confirm we are going in the right direction through this maze.

One other thing is that just maybe the packet wasn't sent at all and the answers were just to satisfy my inquiries even though there were only two.

It sucks but I'm just bitchin, not yet time to scream, yell and shout and start pulling hair out.

I sure hope everyone else is having a better time getting all their correspondence in due time.

Sorry to here it was done to you also, but I am glad that you were close enough to be able to walk over and get it without too much delay. I hope you have everything completed and a date that is in the very near future. Thank you for your response it helps to know that it can be picked up if all else fails.

They sent mine on the same day (Jan.4th), that Sharon recieved a letter and I an e-mail stating that it would be sent shortly, on the 12th I called to find out if it was sent and they said twice an asked for a different address so I gave them one and verified they had it right and they did, the previous address was also correct. I do tend to put the blame on Canada Post since for an example Sharon got her Christmas card on Jan. 19th which is over a month late.

I'm calling the Consulte later this after noon to see if I can get the packet from the Embassy here in Ottawa if not a trip to Montreal will be in my future.

You would think it would cut down on costs and time if they just emailed the damn packets to people...

Good luck Ron & Sharon.

i agreed, economy of time and money... plus the forms are fillable electronically

You're not the only one. When I was doing the K-1, I sent my package 3 info to Montreal and Canada Post put it in the wrong PO box! I waited and waited and then got a phone call from a doctor's office in Montreal, saying they'd gotten this package of forms and didn't know why. That delay is why we didn't make our planned wedding date. Turns out that the doctor had the PO box next to the US embassy box.

Thank you Misa, we did get it last night, and never assume the Government will act logically or in the general publics best interest.
