Packet 4 Montreal

[caronadlar 0]

Hello,

I was reading a comments about needing a letter from the Packet 4 for your medical appointment, and I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I booked my medical expecting to have received my packet 4 via email by now, but I have not, and my appointment is next week. (I know, bad call).

Do anyone know exactly what from the Packet 4 you need to provide when you attend the medical appointment.

Is the "letter/packet" a generic letter, or does it have information specific to your file that the doctor needs to see? I found these online an was wondering if I printed the medical page off these if it was enough http://travel.state.... - Montreal.pdf ORhttp://photos.state....Packet4-MTL.pdf

Thank you in advance for all the help!

Caroline

I brought my packet 4 email printout. I am not sure why you booked the medical without receiving packet 4 since I thought that's what you are suppose to do (No?).

For me, I replied the packet 3 list via email on May 11 and got back from them on May 13, advising me to register for interview as well as getting medical done...

Thanks. Well I booked the medical on a specific date knowing I could attend. It is very very difficult for me to get days off work (even if I book in advance there is no guarantee), and I knew that there was no chances of me having issues on that date - which is why I booked it in advance. I was hoping I would of received my packet 4 before the appointment.

If you dont mind me asking; how did you find out your materials were received in MTL? I know they were sent by the NVC, but I cannot find a number to ask if the materials were all received in MTL.

Thanks for the help!

Do you have a MTL #?

Do you have a MTL #?

I do. I received it from the NVC when I called them.

There have been people here who have not recieved packet 4 and scheduled everything only to be turned away at interview and told to do it again.


The process SHOULD be that after you get Packet 3 in the mail AND/OR confirm that Montreal has logged your case in the system after recieving it from the NVC. If you recieve Packet 3, follow the instructions, if you didn't receieve Packet 3 you can download the PDF file off of Montreals gov website.

After you complete packet 3 and EMAIL it back to montreal (EMAIL ONLY), you should recieve Packet 4 BACK as an EMAIL within 24 hours. Most receive Packet 4 within a couple of hours of sending Packet 3. We recieved our Packet 4 seven or so hours after sending packet 3.

The Packet 4 confirmation they're asking about is the EMAIL that they're suppose to have sent you. We did not recieve the PDF file from the consulate, the email itself in text form WAS packet 4.


If you sent packet 3 too early and they had not logged it yet, they will simply ignore your email, which means you have not completed packet 3.

f you never recieved packet 4, you need to confirm that they even received packet 3. If they have you can ask if they can resend the email, but if they never recieved your packet 3 you're going to need to do it again.

We sent packet 3 a few days after it said READY on CEAC, but it had NOT been logged meaning they ONLY recieved it. They simply ignored our Packet 3 e-mail. We e-mailed packet 3 again, a few days after the status update day changed (the day they probably logged it), and recieved packet 4 within 7 hours.

Example:

It showed READY July 7th.
We sent packet 3 July 13th
No response
Status update date changed on July 16th
Resent Packet 3 July 23rd
Recieved Packet 4 later on July 23rd

Try CEAC to see if they have you on record.

I gotta be honest, even though I did my packet 3 two months ago, I don't remember clearly. All the things happening got me super overwhelmed

[Ash.1101 1,755]

Since I can't edit my post:

It's most likely that they ignored your packet 3 email. It took 9 days for them to log our file into the system. CEAC showed READY July 7th, but it wasn't until it updated later to July 16th that they actually logged it. Again, we sent our packet 3 before they logged it, so they ignored the email. You most likely sent it too soon. Check to see if CEAC has a new status update date, if it doesn't, it's not logged, if it does then resend packet 3. You should get an email back within 24 hours.


Also did you schedule your actual visa interview? Pretty confident you need to bring confirmation of that as well to medical.

Yes, I did book the interview. A lady I spoke to on the phone (at some Visa help center in the US) created the account for booking appointments for me, and then told us to pay the fee and book our appointment. So I think she did not know the correct process herself. I was calling to find out if the documents had been received in MTL. haha anyways, it added lots of confusion.

I guess I won't be surprised if they cancel my interview. But my main concern right now is trying to get my medical done. I was wondering if any body else had gone without their Packet 4.

If you dont mind me asking: what "message" appeared on July 16 when you were finally able to submit your packet 3 documents. OR did you keep trying to send it every couple of days once it said "Ready"?

Thanks for all the help!!! really appreciated.

I hear you haha!! Thank you for the help!!!

Oh yeah, had you gotten packet 4 you would have been able to set everything up yourself. It links you to the online appointment set up and then a list of the people certified for medical. I think it took my fiance maybe 30 minutes or so to set up his visa appointment and medical.


On CEAC it says something along the lines of "Status Updated Date: 23-Jul-2015" FOR ME, again might be different for you, I started as being "IN TRANSIT" as it traveled from the NVC to MTL. When it arrived at MTL that changed to READY and the Status Updated Date changed to July 7th. We assumed that meant that it was the date that it was logged, but it was most likely just the date that they recieved it. Later when I checked on July 16th (I checked EVERY single day) I noticed that the Status Updated Date changed to July 16th, which then I figured that was the logging date. Up until I resent packet 3, that date stayed the same until they sent us Packet 4. When they sent us Packet 4 the date changed to July 23rd.



Now you can't see how many times the dates have changed, you kind of had to of checked it every day to notice if the dates changed. What ever the first date it ever showed when it got marked as ready was most likely the date they recieved it, I'd say either contact them to find out if they have your packet or wait a few more days and see if the status updated date changes. If it does change in the next few days that most likely means they've logged it.


The best way to find out if they recieved their packet 3 is for you to contact them. Really, unless you're stalking them EVERYDAY which is what i do, and look at recent experiences of others (there was another girl who did the same as me and sent packet 3 to early, which is what prompted me to resend). You can keep trying to use your best judgement but you really don't wanna mess the process up!

Who is doing your medical?

At my medical, I was asked to provide my interview date, but not anything specifically from packet 4. If you have something confirming your interview date that might be ok. Tho, I did provide my MTL # so who knows what they can see on their end.

WOW! thanks so much. That helps a lot. It was strange because on the IN TRANSIT status, it said that my interview was already scheduled. But it appears to only be a glitch from what other other are saying.

I sent them emails and inquires to find out if it has been received and logged. Hopefully they get back to me soon.

Good to know I will have to resend everything.

Thanks again!

Oh really ?! Thanks!

It is Doctor Galperin (sc) at the Medisys Travel Health Clinic on 500 Sherbrooke in MTL.

Where did you go?

It is funny, some people told me their packet 4 documents did not have their name or anything on them (just a very generic emails with links) and other people seem to have very specific documents with all their information on it.

[neoblast 138]

The last page of packet 4 has your name, mtl number and visa category and they will not do your medical without them.

[B-2-Z 37]

You should've gotten your P4 by now. Try resending in P3. I got mine within 24 hours of each other.

I did my medical in the same office. When I got there I totally forgot my printout, and they 100% require it to even register you. I was fortunate enough that she let me email it to her on spot. I only brought my interview confirmation which wasn't good enough, they require seeing P4 to show you had permission for both.
