Yeah, the consulate is very backed up. Folks DQ'ed last December have gotten their interview date, folks DQ'ed January 2020 are still waiting. This spreadsheet shows the most up-to-date info about folks in line for an interview: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LvnDvX95_tfWtTvsJJM49PDPPvPKal0WG2rgdZHhsz0/edit#gid=255923754

@Hawk Riders would be good to add Annie to the spreadsheet.

Oh my...thank you for this link, it's extremely helpful. Hoping the process starts moving along for everyone.

Hi everyone,

I have  a question i got my passport stamped it doesnot says i551 and doesnot say its valid for one year. It only says admitted LPR with today's date. Is it fine? If anybody can comment on it.

Dr Cheema update: I saw him this past Friday. I got email notification from his office that they have submitted the medical reports directly to the Mtl consulate electronically and have couriered the xray cd to me. Pretty quick turn around time on this process.

The visa itself says I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year. 

It's near the bottom.

Numbers are out - woeful for Montreal 

September 

CR1 16 -  32 in August 

IR1 85 - 2 in August 

 

I checked London 

CR1 76 - 65 in August 

IR1 97 - 73 in August

 

Checked out further numbers and Santo Domingo (DR) is wild! 
 
CR1 95 - 68 in August 

IR1 175 - 140 in August 

 

Just imagine! We’d all be with our families if we had this kind of service. Crickets again today. Emails and social media comments with gentle reminders that we’re waiting won’t hurt.

It’s in line with pre covid issuances though. So at least they have resumed “normal” operations. Doesn’t help the backlog but at least we are moving again.

I honestly think that you should post this comparison on their Social Media pages and ask for reasons for this. If you don't want to do it, I will...

Yes! Progress! Seems tho things are stuck at last interview scheduled for Nov 4th?  Being DQ’d in January, has your case moved from NVC yet?

Hello from Missouri. Just wanted to pop in to say I’ve been thinking of you guys and I’ve been hoping that the process speeds up for all those still waiting. I keep having these moments when I suddenly remember that I’m here to stay, that there’s no more countdown to my dreaded flight back to Canada... Stay strong, there really is a light at the end of the very long tunnel 🙏🏻💛

checked this morning and still at nvc. I think it only moves after you get the IL

[Tofu 343]

Since they typically schedule 3-4 weeks out, I am hopeful that there will be another batch of interviews sent out Monday to wrap up the month of November...

I could help with a visualization (bar / line chart). Is this of interest?

oh wow... I've never compared it to other consulates before. Looks like Mexico did 200+  and I know Mexico too has a long wait time too.

Apparently the consulate in DR is closed yet those numbers? So not sure what’s going on. 
 

K1’s are being scheduled for Nov 16th - definitely ok to compare Canada to the UK. 4-5 months wait time for them now as per on the forum - as I noted last week, July DQ’s in the UK are getting November interview dates.  

 

The USA consulate Facebook page has the most comments from what I see - and there is a pinned post - so someone is reading the comments. Those of us who want can post a message there with the data?!

Tokyo has huge numbers too.
