Package 3 Montreal

What exactly do I need to send in for Package 3 to Montreal? The way I understood it was that I had to file:

1. 2 copies of DS156

2. 1 copy of DS230 Part 1

3. 1 copy of DS156k

4. Confirmation of DS160 (filed electronically)

5. 2 2x2 photographs

6. Copy of passport

7. the Checklist

However, on form DS156k, it says I must attach the police check, birth certificate, etc. Do I have to send those in at this stage? It doesn't explicitly say that in their instructions, only in a tiny area on the form. I haven't got my police check yet, I just applied for it. I don't really want to wait any longer to send it in which is why I asked. Apparently they sent my Package 3 out on August 3rd, but I have yet to receive it and this has caused a huge delay. Was planning on getting married October 27th, but I guess that out the window! So much for TRYING to be prepared.

I never received my package and for some reason I am really struggling with this step. Also, I registered for the loomis courier service, but I read it's better just to send it in through another means? Is that true? How do I address the package in that case? I am super confused an any other additional information would be greatly appreciated. Every other step there has been step by step directions somewhere on the web, and I can't seem to retrieve anything for this. I don't want to screw it up! Sorry for all the questions, I tried for a few days to look this up with not much luck. Thanks.

I think you should attach anything they ask for. You can always attach copies and include a note that you will bring the originals with you to the interview if you don't feel comfortable sending the originals. If they have to have the originals, they will probably send you a letter requesting it. I think sending copies is fine because they know you will be appearing at the embassy for the interview. Best of luck.

There is a great guide for K1s going through Montreal on the Canada forum: Montreal Guide Read it. It will tell you what you need to know.

The police check, birth certificate, etc don't need to be sent with P3. You will need to hand them in at the interview though.

Try reading the Montreal guide. It will help.

Good luck!
