I've just read in a few posts that two months seems to be the standard wait time between Montreal's receipt of Packet 3 and the arrival of Packet 4... is this holding true with most everyone? And then another month or so until the interview?

Montreal confirmed receipt of our Packet 3 on April 20th, and I've been discouraged at what seems like a longer wait than expected... over two months now. If I can expect it soon, though, it gives me a little ray of hope that we might be getting a happy little envelope in our mailbox soon.

Pretty please.

mine was a bit over 2 months I went through Vancouver hang in there !!

Call up Montreal and inquire. You've been waiting long enough to call I'd say. Maybe they can shed some light. The contact info should in your packet 3. Make sure you call during the hours specified (2:30-4 I think).

It can't hurt.

I might do that. I called about three weeks ago, and was told that all I could do was wait.

Gee, thanks.

Montreal does not answer emails so try phoning them however I did that and they told me to email them. Still have not gotten a email from about a month ago. However I emailed them on Tuesday and still no reply. Montreal seems to be so disorganized.

I had better luck when I called rather than emailing, the phone # is also in the Embassy Info section up top in the blue banner.

I did call three weeks ago, as stated above... have never emailed. May try calling again today... who knows, I could get lucky.

I'd recommend trying the e-mail, to be honest. The first time I e-mailed I got a response in 2 days. The second time I e-mailed (only a few weeks ago), I got a reply the very same day!!! Which was completely shocking...

Never hurts to try. Just make sure you use the e-mail address that should have been included in the same packet with your document checklist.

here is what are time line was like waiting on Montreal. It took exactly 4 months from the day we mailed packet 3 back to interview day..Good luck and hang in there..

hm Montreal received our checklist on April 24th and we already have an interview date and the package was received on June 6th so if you haven't gotten it yet, you will soon I called Mtl every friday just to bug them and actually found out my interview date before I got Packet 4, so good luck!
