Awesome Colin!!!! I will be getting my medical at the time of your interview, but promise to send good vibes. HOW EXACTLY did you get your Senator involved???? DO TELL!!!!

I just posted in the Canada section that I emailed MTL just now to figure out if the "your interview should take place in June/July" will happen. my guess? Either they will blatantly ignore me, or they will say something completely ambiguous. ARGHHHH. I guess I'm not my usual cheery self, he he. :wacko:

Hello Fellow VJ'ers

So I finally have some exciting news to share with the group....... I couldn't wait til tomorrow and decided to call Montreal this afternoon. They informed me that I have my interview scheduled for June 13th as well!! I guess they decided to schedulde Colin and I together to get us out of their hair.

I immediately e-mailed them afterwards for confirmation that my interview is for June 13th. I wanted to see it in writing before I set up my travel plans...... $580 for a flight from Vancouver to Montreal.... sheesh! Oh well, it will be all worth it when this ordeal is all over. I am happy for you Tracy, that you finally got your letter. Yikes, my interview is less than a month away!!

I will now have to schedule the doctor's visit..... I hope I can get in relatively soon. Any Vancouverites in this thread have any idea on the wait times for scheduling the physical?? I guess I'll call his office tomorrow.

Colin: they told me an 8:30 AM interview time..... what about for you? It would be nice to see you in Montreal, since I've felt we've been going through this process together...... Like yourself, I check my mailbox every day in anticipation for that sacred Packet 4, just to be let down every day. I hope it will come sometime next week just to be certain.

Hip Hip Hooray, the wait is FINALLY over....
