Hey just thought I would add my experience because this thread popped up when I searched for "waiting for passport back in Montreal". I had my interview on January 7th and got my passport back on January 14th. There were no updates on the CSC website until I got the email from Loomis saying "passport ready for pickup". Seems like 4-5 days is a pretty solid average for Montreal!

And for anyone that's interested, we've been staying in airbnb.com places -- $35/night for an entire apartment close to the metro (important when it's blizzarding outside and you can't drive!!). Made it kind of like a romantic-but-stressful-waiting-vacation in Montreal :)

So waiting for my passport worked for me, but I won't lie -- it was a stressful week of waiting! Checking the CSC website compulsively haha :)

Ok, so...new update in my case on CEAC...never heard of...

first of all, The first time i scheduled my interview, (back in october 2013), my interview was janurary 13th 2014.

few days after i scheduled, i decided to look again if there was another day closer for my interview.

I got lucky, i reschedul for nov 25th 2013!

Since ever , on CEAC its says:

READY

date or creation:august 14th 2013

update status: (always updated everyday...)

* you are now ready to schedul your interview...bla bla bla...

And now today, out of the blue...

READY

date of creation:janurary 14th 2014?????

update status:janurary 14th 2014

*you are now ready to schedul your interview...blablabla...

BUT if you already had it, wait 2 buisness days to see your status update.

???

wonder if they just never open my case till my initial interview date...even if I was approuved.

They never update to AP, but were always saying that when i called...Weird.

If someone understand something in this, please let me know.

I just wish it's a stept foward.....

Thank's guys!

Visa issued this morning!!!

Seems to me that it didn't do any plus to change my interview date from Jan 13th 2014 to Nov 25th 2013..

It's like they only considered my case from the original interview date ...

Anyway,I just had lots of time to read that forum...:-)

I'm happy, more then happy,but it feel weird!!!
