Montreal (Canada) Consulate experiences?!

[sapa_uscan 0]

Firstly, this is a GREAT site!! Bravo to the launchers!

My questions are (I will make it really simple):

Me: from Canada

Fiance: from USA

Current stage: Received NOA2 - Jan 25, 2007

a) Is there any thread(s) for Montreal Embassy/Consulate?

B) Is there any thread(s) for Canada Vs US K1 applicants ? I am looking for Motreal Consulate experiences, interview questions, any strange items/Keep-in-mind checklist for the Consulate, etc?

c) I have not received my Packet3 nor the medical request as of yet (Received NOA2 - Jan 25, 2007). I was going through the designated Toronto doctors/physicians website (Dr. Seiden at http://www.panelphysicians.com/index.htm) and noted that the vaccinations requirements are that you need to have the below taken already or started as soon as possible if you have not had them:

-Tetanus Diphtheria (Td),

-Chicken Pox

-Mumps, Measles, German Measles (Rubella) - MMR

Can I start some of the vaccinations/shots even before I receive the Packet3 / medical request?

Appreciate all assistance. Thanks

Hi sapa..........and welcome.

Have a look on the Canada forum as well as well as the embassy link at the top of the page.

Montreal is not the fastest consulate on the planet , trust me, so settle in for a bit of a wait. If you haven't already , soon you will receive a letter from the NVC saying they received your file and are forwarding it to the consulate in Montreal. 1- 3 weeks later you should be receiving your packet 3 from Montreal. The letter from the consulate will suggest an interview can be scheduled anywhere from 2-4 months from the time they receive your file at their office, but be prepared it could be more like 4-5 months. Regarding your immunizations , yes you can see your own doctor and be sure your shots are up to date.

Good Luck to ya and see you in the Canada forum!!!

Welcome, yes go to the Canadian forum, but you can also look at the blue colored tab under "embassy/USCIS review" above your controls and just find the Montreal consulate there and read on! Have fun on the rest of your journey!
