How long did you guys have to wait? we'd love an idea of how long it will take, specifically for Montreal, but any other low risk country will put my mind at ease too!

no concrete answer...some get it back within a few days.....some have taken a few weeks.....

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Mine was the next day but that was last year.

Like flames said, some are quick, a few days, and others take weeks or a month.
