I am asking myself the same question

About time we moved this discussion public.

Is Montreal scheduling other immigrant visa interviews? Hoping the executive order for Immigration isn't extended and  my parents  get their IR-5 visa appointment.

Better post an inquiry thread in the general forum as we represent the collective IR1/CR1 experience here...

I Wanted to follow up on my earlier question. Now I am laying in bed, overthinking everything and need some clarification. If we have a new passport (last one stolen)... I had emailed the consulate well in advance to update my passport. They confirmed it was updated but on my DS-260 form it still showing my old passport number. I also went in to the site where we register our appointments and where we want our passport delivered to. I updated my passport number there but also saw a warning saying it must match DS-260. Any advice? If the consulate says it was updated but still not showing on my DS260.. What should I do?

Not an issue, bring all your info about hour old passport and your new ones. Consulate will update.

Sorry I’m reposting my last question, but are we supposed to let them know in advance of a change in address in Canada?

No. You can let them know at interview.

Thank you! I’m starting the single digit countdown today so I’m starting to overthink too  

 

About Montreal becoming an orange zone, they keep specifically talking about places of leisure (bars, restaurants) and private gatherings, so I’m staying hopeful they’re not just going to shut everything down! Which would make sense in my opinion.

We leveled up to an IR1 application today!  Trying to stay positive that the end is nearing.

After submitting my DS 260, i changed jobs, do i need to update that during the interview?

Best wishes to Monday's interviewees: @SAsal, @Irregularblob, @Couchpotato560, @SeriaRisa11 & children, @Zelna, & @Jacqueline H!

Let us know how it goes.

Thinking of all the interviewees today and looking forward to hearing updates. Good luck!  We are counting down - medical in Montreal in one week! Interview the next Monday. Looking forward to this part of the process being done.

I can’t stop reading “welcome to the united states of America” on the paper haha. IM DONE YALL! My appointment was at 8:30 and I was out before 9:30. Super simple and smooth. First security, then they told me which floor and window to go to. Then I went to window 5 and she took original documents: passport, birth certificate (only mine), marriage certificate, police check, 2019 tax return and 1 of my passport sized photos to scan.  And she had my medical already, as it was sent from Dr Randall Lee’s office. Did some finger prints then sat down for maybe like 25 minutes? Then got called up to window 1 where he asked me questions about the marriage, how we met, how often we saw each other. he asked about my husbands work, and since he started a new job this year I provided information and pay stubs for proof of income because it wasn’t on his 2019 tax return. Asked about my longest visit and if I’ve ever had trouble at the border. There was a lot of standing and waiting at this point lol. Then he said some new documents need to update in the system but should be done And approved by end of day. Then he handed me the welcome papers and explained next steps. That’s all! 😊😊😊
