Yes, he is a PR. We were unaware of the resume recommendation for PRs. 
 

thank you for your answer! It will make this wait a little more bearable 

Resume is usually to vet education/work in sensitive fields & technologies

I don’t think there’s anything to be done to avoid AP

This would all be so much more palatable if they processed AP within reason but these delays are ruinous.

My understanding is it is mainly in the name of applicant. If the name matches (sometimes only vaguely matches) someone in their database of people suspected to be a threat to national security, they are targetted for extreme vetting. Other parameters are education/ work in technical fields, and origin from certain countries.

Yes you’re probably right and would explain why infants and toddlers receive it.

Interview may18 Montreal  F4 visa

221 g given no documents required 

updated on may 26 jun 7 aug 3 

august 4 10:30 morning updated to ready

11:30 am updated to issued 

so i waited 78 days 

so what im trying to say is be patient but some cases here are very unreasonable wait like Ice-qube I really wish you all the best 😊

Ps 

i was lurking for a month on this site reading everyone’s comment trying to find good news 

No 5535? If yours took 78 days for AP without extreme vetting that does not bode well for 5535 recipients.

Pleasantly surprised MTL is issuing EB/FB interviews for Sept, thought for sure they'd be blocking the whole month off for DV's. 

I’m DV, they look pretty much done as far as interviews go (been keeping track of the interviews).

Hi everyone,

 

Which doctors will do any missing vaccines if needed? I heard there was a couple of them that don't. 

I heard Teluls health in Montreal will?

 

Is there any in Toronto that will?

It’ll cost you some to get it done at a panel doctor. Do you have Canadian health insurance (OHIP/BC MSP etc;)? Some of the vaccines are covered, at least they were for us

without a long history of travel to countries deemed "terroriats training"  and/or other warnings

and born Uk citizen,  your ds 5535 should be a lot faster for CO and embassy to check

and it seems strange they gave him the ds 5535 to flll out 

This is speculation. Some members in the 5535 Montreal thread who are Canadian born with no travel history to designated countries of concern have been waiting a very long time.

That sounds either like a mistake or confusion on your part? Maybe? I guess I am confused about what additional information they'd need for a 15 month old baby and so to me it sounds like either they made a mistake or you misunderstood what they asked for🤔

 They are literally saying that the 5535 was issued to the child.

Last year there were 19 WoM total. This year I see 25 SO FAR. They are getting slammed and I home it draws the attention of someone who actually cares.

Where’d you get these totals? 

Has nobody really been approved since March 5??

Meanwhile on K-1 groups, people are jumping for joy and getting their visas at breakneck speeds. Most of these people have applied long after we have. I am happy for them, don't get me wrong. But it is hard not to be jealous, let's be honest.

 

 

 

I’m just catching up - are you saying that the trend for DS 5535 at Montreal skews towards a certain visa class? 

Are masks still worn at the consulate now that the local mandate is dropped?
