Hi there,

So sorry to hear how long it's taking, but I'm sure everything is okay and it's just a delay on Montreal's end! I have a feeling you will get your Visa today or tomorrow. I know how it feels to worry about it and have problems sleeping and eating, I wish the Consulate and it's employees knew what a toll it takes on us! So, I hope to read your post today or tomorrow with the good news and then you can have a few drinks to celebrate and relax!

I sent my passport back to the Consulate on Dec 1... now the waiting game begins. I wrote them a note when I sent it back and have sent a few emails saying that I have plans to move Dec 27th. I hope it comes soon, I to keep checking Canada Post to see if it has been sent but nothing :( I know you have been waiting a lot longer but this is torture....

I am so fedup of this waiting game, well as per them i was to receive my visa by nov 20th and accordingly we gave letter to our apt officials

that we will be vacating the apartment by Nov 30th, but lucky for us we were allowed to extend for more 15 days (till dec15th) as someone

already signed up the apartment for renting from 16th dec... I am trying to find a place to move but cant sign a contract as am so unsure

about my situation, so I am planning to rent some furnished place where I can pay weekly or monthly no contracts etc..

Any idea whats the max period they can hold the passport for visa purpose ?

Hope you get yr PP soon so do I.

I don't think there is a max, per se, but we were told that it would take 4-6 weeks for them to process once received. We haven't sent in our additional proof of domicile yet, but we are planning to do it when there is a six week window when we don't need my husband's passport. It is very inconvenient not to have your passport for six weeks, though!

I got my passport today in the mail... two days after they finally responded to my email. I wrote in the heading... urgent ugent case number urgent... and the responded to me a few hours later. So try and put urgent like 5 times in your email and maybe they will get the point. I am so relieved :)
