I scheduled my medical its October 10th at 10:15am 

 

 

You'll have to prepare for the list of documents to bring to the interview and sign up for the courier service.

I just noticed that the Montreal checklist doesn't ask for the confirmation page of the DS-260 or a copy of the receipt of fees paid. Is this not necessary as it's a pivot country?

Since the fees are paid online they already have in those in their records

I had my interview this morning.

 

All went smoothly.

 

I was not asked to provide the new fingerprint standard. The old one was fine. Since they didn't require the new guidlines, I wasn't about to open up a can of worms by asking questions.

 

Sorry, it's been 15 months to get to this point. 

Congrats! Could you let us know how long it takes to get your passport back in the mail with the courier service?

Hi, I was wondering what everyone's recent experience has been from receiving  their passport back after their interview? 

1) How long did it take? 

2) Did you have it delivered to your place or postal office (looking for the quickest delivery) 

Thanks! 

Thank you everyone. What hotel is close to the montreal embassy?

I'm sure you will get a November interview. They will start scheduling again in a couple of weeks. Keep faith.

Congrats! When was your cc date? 

Just now, Soubz said:

I think someone with a July 11 cc got a September interview. 

I think that was for her son, not sure if it falls under the same visa category. If it does, then it's July 11th. If not the one I saw was July 3rd. 

Has anyone received an interview date....anywhere for Ocotber? ☹️

You are right  ,At least is good to have the idea I think is better to call them at night they won’t hold us too much on the phone .

 I just called to get Montreal update and they said they are still scheduling for interviews. 

For everyone in Montreal, my husband called the NVC yesterday and they started scheduling Montreal interviews last week and will continue to until the middle of October.

Here it is: 

Also, for any Canadians, I just went to go get my finger-printed criminal check and it'll take up to three weeks to get in the mail. So go as soon as you can! 

There is a new change to the criminal check for Canadians as of September 10th.  I called the NVC to double check and she told me that the NVC doesn't need anything but she would hate that if I went to the interview and asked for it. She told me to email Montreal, but it takes up to 10 business days for them to reply and I didn't want to wait around. Better safe than sorry.

Here is the link with the new change:

I called NVC yesterday and the lady said she didn't know if Montréal sent their open October slots over. 

However when I called Thursday or Friday of last week I was told they were scheduling October appointments 

I called close to midnight and she said they are scheduling for montreal this week. I'd follow the new forum on VJ though for October.

CC: July 13th. 52 days, hoping everyone hears this week!
