Yeah. Calling isn't really the answer, I don't think. The agents don't really know any sooner than the email that goes out.

Well, maybe one of you could have my March date? I will let you know when I hear back re: rescheduling:)

Hey Edmonton Girl,

I also have a March interview that I would really like rescheduled. I emailed them 2 weeks ago asking for it, but all I got back was their automated response. it says they usually respond within 4-5 business days, but it's been double that amount of time and still no response. I don't know if they;re ever going to answer, or if they'll send a letter, or who knows. Do I book a flight, or not, its all so confusing.

I'm very interested to know if they respond to your rescheduling request. Let us know what happens.

Wow. I'm surprised to see a couple rescheduling requests.

Just remember that rescheduling at Montreal seems to put you in the back of the line again...possibly a May or June interview date if you do.

I'm fine with that. We asked them to reschedule because our newborn son, who applied DCF a few months after my wife, probably won't have interview until may or june, and we don;t want to go to Montreal twice. We asked them to put all our interviews on the same date, even if that means pushing back the march interview a few months.
