How do I check whether my interview has been set up?

It's been longer than 8 weeks, so I'd like to contact Montreal and find out whether or not my interview has been scheduled, because I need to tell my job when I'm taking my vacation time.

Is there a number/email that I am supposed to use? I've seen people complaining about checking and not having gotten anything yet, so there must be a way, I just don't know how.

Thanks!

Look under embassy info for contact info

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

They will probably tell you you're on the "waiting list". Montreal isn't too good with scheduling interviews... see the waiting room thread:

My wife and I both called the Montreal Embassy (I called after to absolutely double check the date of our interview) and they let me know of the date right after we gave them our Visa/USCIS number. Definitely check, as I didn't receive the actual packet about what to bring for about another week. We only had 3 weeks when we first called, so imagine if you wait for that packet, could be cutting it close!

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

I was also told by my lawyer that they typically schedule dates for the next month from the 15th of the previous month on, so my wife and I both called on the 15th exactly and found out quick.
