Hello,

Has anyone recently purchased the xpresspost mailer while at their interview in Montreal? Or do we have to purchase one ourselves, and bring it with us?

The interveiw letter says we can buy one there with a credit card, but I thought I read elsewhere on VJ that this option is not available anymore.

Thanks

Most people buy it ahead of time

it makes things easier

I bought it at the post office at Shoppers, easy peasey. Just come with the measurements, Depending on where you're from you may need the Regional version vs the National version

Regional will mean Montreal is mailing it back to you at a Quebec or Ontario address - Quebec and Ont are considered in the same mailing region.

National is for mail between regions...meaning Montreal is in one but let's say you live in Saskatchewan. All this is on the back of the envelopes and the mail lady can assist you.

Cheers

Go for the large size. That's the one you want. 12" by 15" (US doesn't do metric so 304.5 by 381 ish) is the one. I think it's $9.49 or something.

just for the sake of asking do we need to buy 5 one for each visa

Oh mannnnn, Doug is planning to get the envelope when he gets there since they said they're available at the Consulate at a reduced rate....if that FREAKIN letter is wrong, I'm gonna scream! (again!)

You can buy them at your interview as long as you have a credit card. I got mine at the post office. Just make sure you write down the tracking number so you can track it online when they do send the visa. Just be prepared for Canada Post to not be acurate with the tracking.

Ontarkie: I'm not sure about 5 visas, but I had both mine and my son's visas placed in the same envelope.

I thought I read somewhere it's one envelope each..

I just looked and didnt see anything anywhere. When I handed my interview letter to the clerk, it had all the other papers still stapled together with all the instructions.

Up to four visa per envelope, or so they say in the material provided.

ahh cool

well two envelopes is better then 5 then i only need to get stressed out x2 with the mail
thanks
