Update: I HAVE MY VISAS!!! 


I woke up this morning to a notification from Canada Post saying that there was an issue with my address and they're working on sorting it out, and my package won't be delivered until the 13th! 
So I immediately called and they told me they're working on it and it could take up to the 16th to get my package delivered! 
OH HECK NO! 
So I emailed the executive support person at Canada Post (the highest up on the chain of command) who had done the investigation the first time, and she immediately called the Mail Depot in my town and made them go and locate my package and bring it to the front. The depot called me and said they have the package and asked if I would like to go and pick it up, so I said I would be there asap. 
While I was there, the consulate had emailed me because they noticed the an issue with the tracking as well. 
I picked up and signed for the package, and opened it right there in the post office to make sure everything was complete. Not 10 minutes after I signed for it, I received an email from both the consulate AND Canada Post's Executive support asking me to confirm that I received it because they saw it was picked up. I confirmed and thanked them both for tracking my package the entire time along with me and had such fast responses. 

I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY AND RELIEVED!! 

Moving Date June 20th! 

Hey guys, STILL waiting... 
From my last message, the consulate responded to me saying that all mail goes to an offsite facility and can take up to 10 business days to actually reach the visa unit. 😤
So when the 10th business day hit (Thursday), I emailed back asking for an update. 
Then yesterday morning, they mistakenly replied to my email (rather than forwarding it) with a message to their supervisor asking what they should tell me!! Then they immediately sent me another email requesting to recall the previous one! (Too late, I saw it. And I don't think you can un-send an email anyways). But they never ended up answering my email or giving me any information!!! Now it's a long weekend and I'm trying so hard not to completely lose my 💩.

Here's a copy of the update I just posted on my other thread.. 


On Wednesday the Consulate emailed me, asking for me to sign and return the compensation contract form that I have been holding off on. I told them I would get it to them as soon as possible and asked whether or not the children and myself need to return to Montreal.  (Because if we do, the compensation amount is not nearly enough to cover that). 

This morning they emailed me back saying only that they will tell me what to do once I receive my new passports. 🙄 
I replied back telling them that I DO have my new passports in hand and told them the new passport numbers. (I picked them up from the Passport Canada office this morning). 

No response back from the Consulate, and judging by the time now, I don't think I will get a response until tomorrow at the soonest. 
I was hoping to get my new passports sent off to them (or book plane tickets) today... 

The waiting still continues..

Visa was issued on April 12th and received in April 15th. 

Visa was issued on April 12th and received in April 15th. 

Thank you. I truly hope so too. 
 
The Consulate sent me a contract to sign, which included a compensation amount. But I'm not going to sign it until I know whether or not I need to go back to Montreal. If I do, then I will need more than what they are offering. But if I don't, then I will accept and sign.  
 
 

It was probably more to do with their country of citizenship.

I emailed the Consulate this morning and asked if there are any updates (since it's now been a week since my last message from them). They replied back within 3 minutes with this message:
😞💔

Issued. A sweeter word has never been written. After nearly 35 days. 

Issued. A sweeter word has never been written. After nearly 35 days.

This is the email I sent to the Consulate yesterday, after hearing from Canada Post: 
 
"I have just received an update from Canada Post. 
They are still unable to locate my shipment, and are writing a letter confirming the shipment as lost. I will forward it as soon as I receive it. 
In the meantime, I was told to contact Passport Canada to report our passports as lost, and work on getting new passports. 
What are the next steps where the visas are involved?"

This is the response I received back from the Consulate: 
(I assume it means business days. So 10 business days from the time I received their first email saying they are investigating, would bring me to Thursday.)
 

Really sorry you and your family has to go through this. I hope there is a positive outcome very soon. I can definitely relate to the helplessness feeling. 

Another update on my missing visas/passports: 

2 hours ago I got a voicemail re: Canada Post, from executive support on behalf of Minister Qualtrough. 
Prime Minister's cabinet is already investigating!
 
Then, 45 mins later, I got a phone call from my local MP. 
Said that they contacted their connection at Canada Post and made my case go to the absolute highest person it can go to, and also marked it as the absolute highest priority. 
They are turning the place upside down and I will receive a call back on Monday. If my package isn't located by then, they will personally help me do whatever needs to be done to fight and help replace my Passports/Visas.

YAY!!!!CONGRATS!!!!
 
We are just awaiting the shipment of all my furniture & personal belongings via moving company but everything went smooth at POE on March 20th  Getting married soon and happy as a USA clam. Thanks for everyone's help over all these months.

CEAC status changed to Issued this morning! 😍

Hope this is resolved soon! This sounds like a nightmare!

Thanks. yes CO did keep the passport. 

Hey! So I looked back at one of my emails, and it does say that you only have until 6 a.m. on the day of your interview to change your delivery address: "You only have until [date of interview] 06:00 local time to change the location where your visa documents will be delivered. After the time indicated above, the option to change the courier location will be deactivated from your account and at this point no courier changes will be allowed." I guess you could always go into your account and see if the option is still there or if there's anything else you can do, but unfortunately it looks like you would have had to already changed it. 

Hopefully you hear something soon 🤞
