No update in the group from last 10 days. Is anyone getting interview letter/call at all ?
I got DQ on July 01,2020 for CR1, no update yet.

I’ve been DQ (IR1) in January and still waiting. Hoping to receive an interview letter this month for November.

We aren't expecting to hear anything until the 13th at the earliest (though anything before then won't be unwelcome).

@DGF it might be a little too soon but I haven’t read anywhere montreal going to be resuming like no current update. For the cancellations they announced it a week before they started rescheduling no?

They said in a video Q&A that they put out August 27th that they'd be working with the NVC to reschedule spouses once the cancelled interviews were rescheduled. They haven't said anything else since so I can only assume that is still correct.

No this is based on when interview letters have historically gone out (at least over the last year).

Any update from the Montreal embassy?

Are you looking for interview updates for those who were waiting for one? Montreal has already finished rescheduling all cancelled K1s and are now scheduling new ones, and I’m not sure about CR1/IR1 but they rescheduled a bunch of cancelled ones for those too, not sure if they started any new ones yet.

Also; the K1's that they are scheduling now are the ones that have already reached the embassy.

There are a handful left at the embassy before they begin requesting them from NVC.

 

Your timeline looks like IR1/CR1 so this sheet may be of interest to you;

Hi - this looks like the most recent thread about this. From the spreadsheet, it looks like interviews are currently 8 months behind DQ. (I'm on the spreadsheet.) Are they continuing interviews during Quebec's lockdown or are those of us who were DQ'd last summer going to be waiting even longer now? Does anyone have any news? Thanks.
