OK... I am super frustrated and feel like my hands are tied!! I NEED INFO!
PLEASE share your experience and advice especially if you have had to deal with the COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT from CANADA.
Because I lived/taught in Colombia for 6 years I must get a police certificate from Colombia as part of our CR-1/PR-1 so I FLEW TO TORONTO (from winnipeg) to apply in person at the consulate in TORONTO.
My appointment was JANUARY 29 and I was told it would take 3 months for the (toronto) consulate to receive my paperwork from DAS in Bogota. THEY (TORONTO) would then send it to my lawyer via the pre-paid express post envelope I left. WELL, it is now TWO MONTHS OVERDUE and the consulate will not answer my emails and are very difficult to get a hold of by phone. I am asking a "YES-NO question" and they can't even give me the time for an answer!! I am not worried that they have lost everything and just don't want to tell me!! This is the last piece of paper NVC needs!!!
Does anyone have a name and number for DAS so I can call them directly. My passable Spanish is long gone!
THANKS,
MICHELE
