How do I track packet 3?

[Tim and Erin 3]

I sent off packet 3 last week. I've got a tracking number from U.S. Postal Service where I mailed it from, but so far it's only showing that it was "accepted" here at the local outlet. How can I contact Montreal to see if they've received it?

USPS has a tracking thing on their website, you put the tracker number in there and if anything has changed it will show up. Generally it takes 1-2 weeks to get to canada from the US. Sometimes the tracking info doesnt show up untill the second day of mailing. Once I had something not show up at all for tracking but it did arrive to canada in 2 weeks.

Edit: you cant call montreal to see if they got it, they dont allow phone calls of any sort. You need to call DOS.

it will also take up to a month for it to be entered into their system after they physically received it.

you have to keep calling DOS to find out if it was received, then if it was logged then if your elidgeable for an interview and then if p4 interview letter was mailed. You CANNOT directly contract Montreal, you can TRY to email them, however most people have had very little luck in actually getting a response from them. also if you call canada post, they will tell you probably there was an issue with the tracking sytem, and to call back to get updates.

Thankyou so much for posting this link! And thanks to Dodi who originally posted the info. Maybe it should be reposted somewhere for all to see?

Yah - Dodi posted 'how to call' and I put in 'what you can get' ...

re: yer P3 - Ye Gods - I'm clueless, really, as Montreal is lagged into oblivion. However, Montreal IV and DOS hotline share the same computer systems, so anything that 'tracks' at Montreal, DoS Hotline Human will know about it - it's on their pooter screen.
