Amen to that. When they do it right, they rightly should get praise.   Coincidentally, I saw a “last updated on” change to May 4. Wonder what that’s about? Hopefully good news coming sometim

So folks,   Thought I should share some news to bring some ray of hope back to this group.   Finally, our visas have been issued as per CEAC system. It seems that they are still un

Nothing in my inbox. However with your user name they thought you were the expert?

All quiet on my end….

Quiet here too. I wish I would have rescheduled my interview because I knew my medical was going to be delayed. I probably would have received a new interview date faster than being put in AP.. I am so frustrated right now!!

It's so unbelievably frustrating. Waiting all that time (literally, years) to be put into another process with indefinite wait time.

At least they didn’t  told you you should contact them just if you haven’t received an answer in 6 months.

Lol, what?

I receive and inquiry response and it says this “If you already was interviewed by a CO and you haven’t been contacted please consider to wait at least 180 days after your interview or after you send your documents”

Yes I have actually seen that somewhere, not sure where. What a joke.

It is such a tough situation to be in, because Montreal makes it so difficult and uncertain to do either. If you reschedule, it has historically taken 3 to 6 months to get another appointment. But if you have something missing for the interview, they again take several months to approve you.

 

On the main Canada thread, I am seeing several people who are expecting not to have their medicals in time for interview, because of public health being backed up and not being able to send the blood work results back to the doctor for 2 weeks. I wonder if they all will be delayed like this for months?

 

Montreal really needs to get better dealing with this…

 That is precisely why I did not reschedule my interview because I was told I would be waiting a long time for a new appointment.  They  really do need to implement a better system. How hard is it to review a medical report and issue a visa. It is so infuriating! I just hope  all of us in AP will hear some good news soon!
