Has it always been that just Montreal dealt with IR1s?

Wondering how Montreal will deal with the backlog coming up or if they will have other consulates help with interviews later? I can’t imagine Montreal opening up anytime soon for interviews.

June 2022 IR1 - DQ

Unfortunately Montreal is the only one that handles these Visas, and to my knowledge, if there is a back log there is a back log. It's frustrating given the circumstances but it is out of our hands. I'm in the same boat as you wondering how long I will wait for an interview for our K1 as well.

Vancouver used to do them as well but haven't for many years. There was already a 5 month backlog and cases weren't sent to other consulates then, so I don't see them doing that with this either. All you can do for now is stay home and hope everyone does the same so we can get back to at least semi-operational asap.

Vancouver only did K1.

None of the other consulates have IV divisions.
