Hello VJ'ers,

I submitted my packet 3 last Monday to the Montreal Consulate. I received an automated email and expected to hear from them atleast by this Monday that has passed. However I haven't, and I am wondering why I haven't received my Packet 4 email. Many people seem to have received it within 2 days!

Is anyone else in the same boat? I am anxious because I need to have an idea of when I can book my interview so it does not interfere with my work (I can't get end of the months off).
