I am just wondering if I can get some advice from people who have already had the interview and gotten their visas. What would you say is a good timeframe to book a flight after an interview. My interview is on Friday march 19th in Montreal and I was wondering what a 'safe' date would be to book the flight. I will get an expresspost envelope for the fastest shipping of my visa and paperwork but I'm wondering how fast that's been for some of you. If I had a car I would drive down the day I got it in the mail. do you think teh following weekend is too early? Thanks!

I would be hesitant to book a flight at all until I had visa in hand. You never know what could happen, even if the visa is approved - broken printer, misspelled name, etc etc.
