Just wondering and being impatient but man this has been one heck of a long ride, how long before we hear anything back from Montreal now that our paper work has been submitted on July 28th/10. I am so sick of living on the phone and e-mails need to have the real thing in my life :(

I'm going to burst your bubble and say about 3 months (assuming you mean your packet 3) before you get an interview. Montreal is a VERY slow consulate

Good luck

its been such a long road for us, we are totally burnt out from all of this. The one thing that keeps us strong is the love that we have for one another. That helps me get through the rough spots, but the not knowing when or anything is pretty tough. I have never encountered such a stressful experience such like this one in my entire life and will never again thank god!
