Montreal Interviews

[mmorgan 7]

So I am seeing here and there that there are no interviews available any time soon in Montreal?? Can someone elaborate, and maybe tell me what kind of interview dates are being given out now? I have delayed sending my packet in for a few weeks bc I didnt want to mess up a trip the the U.S. I have planned in about a month and a half but hearing this makes me worried that I shouldn't have. If anyone has any info on this I would appreciate it!

You have to check via the website to see if there are interviews. Also as you're K1 you book your own interview so send the package, it takes a while to get the P4, then book your interview when you can.

Hi MMorgan,

I would take our case with a grain of salt as I really think the timing varies (someone may cancel versus Montreal actually adding new appointments).

However;

We were sent our Packet 4 letter (email) on November 20th, 2014 and I immediately started refreshing the CSC website as constantly as possible while at home and at work (I also had my fiance and her mother checking when possible) and the first time we saw available appointments was on December 5th, 2014. We were able to choose from January 12th-15th for dates at that time.

It seems reasonable from viewing similar timelines to expect to book your interview about a month+ in advance... but again, take that with a grain of salt as folks cancel and reschedule which frees up existing appointments for others.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I would also recommend sending in your Packets and getting yourself to the scheduling stage. You don't have to book until you're ready as far as I know, but you may end up at that stage longer than you'd like. Waiting for interview slots to open has been the most frustrating stage for us thus far!
