Ya that is stupid, I didn’t get a response the first time I sent in the packet 3 without them asking for it. Then I sent it in 2 days later and I got a response about packet 4 within hours. I would just send it in again what’s the worst they will say wait again. 

I read that you did that so I sent packet 3 again today! lol Haven't heard anything yet. Fingers crossed!

I spoke too soon!! Received Packet 3 AND Packet 4 today!!! However, I can't book my interview because Montreal has no appointments available??? lol I can't win!! I wonder if anyone knows how long it usually takes for appointments to open up and if it's normal for there not to be any available??

There is always a concern when I try to cross the border but I always carry enough documents to tie me to Canada (letter from my work stating I will be back at work the following week, lease for my apt, current utility bill, copies of my NOA's, flight itineraries etc).

 

I Have seen a few ppl resend Packet 3 more than once...if you dare.

Interesting (sadly). 

Let us know when that changes and what the availability is like when it finally opens up.

Geez, more waiting.

I will for sure. It seems like never ending waiting! So many ups and downs. But at least things are moving. I guess it could always be worse!

There is a diehard September filer from Tokyo that made checking for openings her f/t job.

Her first interview was July, then she rescheduled for June when one became available then finally May 23rd. 

I think three times is the max you can reschedule without repaying the fee but it's worth a try if you have the time to keep checking.

Oh I will be checking non-stop lol. I will be fine with whatever the closest date I can get. From what I can see, most people are able to get an interview date a month or so out. I’ll be okay with that. I have a lot of stuff to take care of, then finalize once I get approved (fingers crossed) lol

I’m in Montreal my interview is tomorrow morning at 7:30 I’ll ask directly about he signature tomorrow when I’m there.

Do you pay the Visa fee at the actual interview, or can you pay it online when you schedule your interview? If you can only pay it at the interview, do they only take cash, or can you pay by credit card? 

 

When you were finally able to schedule your interview after receiving packet 4...were interview dates available right away? If not, how long until dates opened up? Should I wait until I know my interview date before scheduling the medical? So many questions, I’m sorry! lol

If you can only pay it at the interview, do they only take cash, or can you pay by credit card? CASH AND CC, NOT DEBIT.

 

When you were finally able to schedule your interview after receiving packet 4...were interview dates available right away? If not, how long until dates opened up? Should I wait until I know my interview date before scheduling the medical? MOST PANEL DOCS REQUIRE A COPY OF YOUR INTERVIEW DATE LETTER TO SCHEDULE THE MEDICAL APPT SO YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT. 

So many questions, I’m sorry! lol
