Here is something that may perk everyone up some, I am a April 16th P3 and I just got off the phone with Montreal and I am scheduled for August 9th at 9 a.m., My god I just realized that that is in two days, what the hell, no time to breath or even think. I hope to see more surprised like this for everyone else. Thank you Tinker for the push to call.
Gotta go and call Sharon


Wow! Are they really already doing the middle of April or did they give you special consideration since you had to wait a few months extra?!! Two days notice?! That's crazy.

I emailed them yesterday and they said my interview date should be coming in the next month or so but they can't make any promises... I'm the end of April but I doubt I entered the waiting list until early/mid May... so I'm still thinking I'll possibly be in October, but I wonder if I could possibly still be in September. It seems Sept is almost filled up though sad.gif

Does it cost anything to call them?


Whoops they didn't say they can't make any promises but they can't give me an exact date (which I took to mean they can't make any promises lol)

And they said the medical is good for one year not six months.

Sister... CALL CALL CALL CALL.... this is the week's mantra. You should be booked close to me (I was March 26 on waiting list.)

Thank you everyone, the good thing is I have been ready for months now, as that is left to do go to the bank and pay the fee then get to Montreal.
I hope to see many more happy people here when I get back.


Ron,

I am sure this will give Sharon a mostly needed breath of hope and love which she needs so much right now. I cannot tell you how happy I am about your flash-timed interview (even with the wait). We're all cheering for you... and send our love to Sharon and her family, ok???

Peace, L.

I don't recommend calling at 5 to 4 - I did that yesterday, got put on hold and then was promptly disconnected at 4! I'll let Tinker get through at 2 and call right after!

MTL also just responded to my email and confirmed what the woman on the phone said. It probably WAS the woman on the phone! They also "thanked me for my patience". Who is this nice person and why isn't she in charge of all correspondence???

Aug 8 2007, 01:42 PM
When I called, I got a woman who sounded very sad to be there...

she sounded so depressed.. =(

She told me when I was put on the list and said "and you know it'll be like 6 months from that day, right?"

I felt bad cuz of how she sounded, thanked her and went on my way
