How long to receive visa in mail?

[Misty1979 0]

I found out yesterday that my mother in law wants to drive me to my interview in Montreal, whenever that time comes. (Don't even comment on that one!)

Besides the obvious dilemma of having to spend 10+ hours in a confined space with my new mom-in-law, I now need to consider the smartest way for her to get back to NC safely. I don't really want her to drive all the way back alone, so I figured maybe I could address the X-press post envelope to our hotel in Montreal, and just spend a couple extra days there waiting for it in the mail.

Before I found out that she had invited herself along, I was secretly planning a honeymoon for me and my husband there (maybe not the most romantic place, but it's been a year since we married and we still haven't had a chance to sneak away, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity.)

Bah humbug

So back to the point..does anyone know approximately how long it would take to receive the visa in the mail in Montreal?

hey misty...

it took us a week exactly to receive his visa, or 5 business days to have it mailed to Toronto. Our interview was completed on 8/30, and the visa was mailed out on 9/4 (2 business days). I wonder if you can ask that if you can pick up the visa at the Montreal embassy the next day? Email/call Montreal to ask about it!

WOW Misty....... regardless of how long it takes to get the visa in the mail........ I would wiggle my way out of being in a car for 10+ hours with ANYONE, except hubby of course.

You could just tell her your plans and hopefully she will figure it out for herself.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Yeah...you don't know my mom-in-law lol. If I so much as hint now that she isn't coming along, she'll go into a rant and leave about 50 messages on our machine stating how much we don't appreciate her etc. etc, and she's like an elephant---she never forgets. 10 years from now she'll still remember and bring it back up.

I'll brave the trip to Montreal (drunk maybe, but considering the circumstances, who can blame me ), however I'm considering opening the car door on the way back and rolling out then faking my own death.

Well, if you look at the spreadsheet, the average is 6 days.. by mail
