How many days does it usually take a case to reach the Montreal Consulate once it has left NVC? I'm sure the answer is somewhere on this site but I'm not sure how to find it.

Also how many days does it take for Montreal to send Packet 3 generally, once they have received the package?

Mine left NVC on 12/22 and was received at Montreal on 1/4. It then took about six days for Montreal to send out Packet 3.

It only takes about 2-5 days for DHL to deliver to Montreal (or Vancouver) from the NVC. The thing is that your case could sit there for a little while before the consulate enters it into their system as "received" and mails you out your packet 3.

Also when NVC says it was sent out to the consulate, it means they put it in the mailroom. So it could also sit at the NVC mailroom for a day or so.
