Egads! Is it true what the VJ Embassy Info page says about Montreal, that they only MAIL you the visa now??? Is it possible to get it sooner? My interview is May 6 and I wanted to leave soon after...
Dudes, what do I do?
Ciao.
Full Version: visa issued same day?
Yes they mail it out!!! A few have managed to come by the next day and get it, BUT they dont normally allow that!! Appears to take up to 2 weeks for delivery, probably a week on average!! They dont always mail it out the next day!!
yeah same day visas have been gone a long time now... they will mail it out to you... you need to provide them with an express post mailer...
I think I read somewhere that they don't recommend even making travel plans for two weeks after the interview, in case the visa doesn't show up in the mail

Don't call me Dude.
Mom attended MTL on December 19 and had the visa in about a week (no mail on Xmas and Boxing Day). Spirit I believe was able to get the visa a bit faster in person but it took two days and she lived in MTL.

man, same day visas from Montreal ended like 2 years ago? It's been a while now.
Dude? Dont call me dude!! lol Saw the movie 21 last night and that was one of the lines from the movie,lol
Not much one can do but wait, especially if ur flying. hard to say if the consulate follows a logical pattern, ie mail out visas every mon/wed/fri??? Some get them very fast, others not soo lucky!!

I think it is up to the CO that does your interview. My Husband went for his interview on February 19th and the CO told him he could pick it up the next day if he was staying in Montreal overnight (he wasn't as he was flying back that same day).
Anyway, sure can't hurt to ask, however I wouldn't plan on it as others have mentioned.
Good luck

3 years ago..
I think I was one of the last people at least on VJ to get a same day visa and that was back in March 2005... i actually was surprised to get it the same day because there were rumours that they didn't do it anymore.... I was in and out of there before noon with visa in hand...
Just ask real nicely for it.

yeah, I knew it was some time after I went through Montreal, couldn't remember if it was 2005 or 6. Man, my memory sucks!
