You have to wait until your file is logged at the consulate before mailing packet three. You don't have to wait for the letter, but you have to make sure that Montreal has received your file and logged it in. If you call DoS, they will tell you if montreal has logged it in, or not. It took about 10 days between the time our package got to NVC and we got assigned our montreal case number and the time it was logged in in Montreal, for us.
Actually, concerning Montreal, it seems many people don't even receive the packet 3 instructions by mail anymore, or it takes forever so XD

Hi Arudeau, I'm have a same timeline .Where do you going to have for interview?

You don't have to wait for the letter, but you have to make sure that Montreal has received your file and logged it in. If you call DoS, they will tell you if montreal has logged it in, or not.
