Hey!!

Still waiting for an interview date.. Anyone else?!?!

I call everyday and everytime they say no, my hopes start to go down and down. I knowww that I'll get a date soon but I would love to know so that I can start planning stuff like a move date and wedding date! (My family keeps bugging me cuz they need to book off work so that they can come to the wedding)

Anyways, Part of me wants to wait a little before I call again for the fear of hearing them say no interview date yet but at the same time.. I would hate to have a date given and not know.

Soonnn.. I can feel it.. but how soon is the question? lol

Hello,

I don't really understand how they book the interviews....my eligibility date was May 5 and I have an interview set for June 27. Try to not get discouraged....think of it this way....one morning the DOS will say "yes...your scheduled for July ##.

to

This process is absolutely the toughest thing I've ever had to endure....I've been married 16 yrs....3 beautiful kids...and due to an illness to my father in law all of our lives were turned upside down and now we must start over again.....but it's almost over for many of us waiting....good luck to all and congrats to those who have gone before us!!

I just can't believe that I'll be adopting a new NHL team....well I'll always love the LEAFS....but it looks like the DUCKS are my new team...that sucks eh?

I totally feel your pain. Mind you I haven't been eligible as long as you have but I am so anxious. I hold my self back from calling everyday. I am going to call this afternoon but I just have a bad feeling that I won't have an interview. When I called DOS a couple of weeks ago they told me that they sit down one day a month (can be a different day each month) and book the interviews for the next month. So hopefully they will have those dates soon! What I don't understand is that some people get interview dates before others when they submitted their package 3 after people who don't have a date (if that made any sense!). There are still a lot of people ahead of me who don't have dates so I don't know. I don't even care when the interview is I just want to know the date!!!! AHHHHHH! (I guess this should've gone in the VENT! sorry!)

Totally understand how you feel. Well, our interview was scheduled on the 7th of last month, so hopefully they'll start schedulilng for July any day now.

Thanks!!! It's always great to have the support from people who know what you are feeling and going through. All I hear from my family is.. we really need to know a date!!! It is as if I know but I'm not telling them for some reason. Oh well!

hooray my visa is at the post office!

rachel? is the canada post website showing anything for you?

so Im leaving canada next weekend

leafgal: you know that with their win detroit is only 2 cups-win away from replacing the leafs in 2nd place for teams who won most cups? 1st place is of course unreachable for any team as it is owned by the greatest dynasty of all sports: Les Canadiens de Montreal with 24 cups!!!

YAY!!! For getting the Visa!!! Congrats to everyone!!! :dance:

Southern Canadian and Anxiously Waiting -

I called on Monday and the lady I spoke to said everything had been received and looked good :wacko: but that we were just in the stack awaiting an interview date. I'm not sure how they do it because, as you guys said, there are some folks who sent their packets in after others, yet already have their interviews. I think you can drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out!

I'm going to limit myself to calling each Monday, and pray that the interview falls during one of my trips to Canada so I don't have to buy another plane ticket and take more time off work than I already do!

I must admit the people at DOS are very friendly. You would think they would get annoyed everytime we call but they don't. Do you think they keep track of how many times you call?

I've called only once, but I've emailed Montreal about 10 times. I'm afraid they move me to the bottom of the stack each time I email...
