DCF Canada - the long wait for Montreal

[krazykraut 0]

I've been trying to find some more info on how DCF in Canada works. We filed the I-130 In Calgary in August. The completed packet 3 was sent to Montreal end of October, and has been signed for.

I wonder if there is any other notification? When do the quoted 4-6 months start counting?

Some people here have a "placed on MTL waiting list" event on their timeline, I wonder where that comes from.

Thanks for the collective insight,

Hi,

You might want to check out the Canada forum and this thread in particular http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=1390966

It's the IR1/CR1 timeline to interview for Montreal. While the people on this list are not DCF, the wait from completion at NVC to interview date will give you a pretty good idea of how they are working at the moment.

We didn't see any interviews scheduled between about April and October, then all of a sudden in October everyone who had been waiting got an interview in Nov/Dec.

Not sure how it will be now, whether they may have caught up a bit or if it was just a fluke.

Anyway good luck!

Hi there :wave: We did DCF through MTL and here's how it worked. Once you send back ALL the papers with packet 3, the wait is about 6 months. Seems MTL is beginning to speed up a bit, but do prepare yourself for yet another charming Canadian winter

And once MTL receives your packet 3, you're on the waiting list

Well, what do you know: just yesterday we got Packet 4 with an interview date Apr 11, 2008. Woohoo!

I can take the thought of winter now: we know there's going to be an end to it! And we're moving to Colorado, where they have lots of snow too, but not these bleak, grey and bitterly cold winter days you get in Alberta.

Will update my timeline soon.

Cheers,
