Is the entrance to the Montreal Consulate on Saint-Catherine St.? Anything we need to know other than walk in thru the entrance on Saint-Catherine St.?

Congrats to those who've received IL's!

 

I wonder, too, if they are sending them with a bit more time between IL issuance and the actual interview because it's been increasingly challenging to get the medical done and the results into the consulate in time, creating more work as people land in AP until the medical is received and reviewed.  We used to only get 3 weeks, 4 max.  May letter, July interview is nice for timing.  Hopefully summer holidays don't pose problems for people and accommodations in Montreal!

Maybe. But also this was the 2nd set of IL sent out in May. There was another set sent out earlier this month, for June interviews. So it makes sense that this new round is July interviews.

Yes, also they will email you the medical and vaccination sheet

Got it. Thanks. Does anyone know what the timeline is for Dr. Mascarenhas recently? Should I hear back in less than 2 weeks?

Does Dr. Mascarenhas office always email you when your medical exam is sent to the Consulate?

yes. 

 

have you had luck with registering the interview? I keep getting a message to try later. :S

 

I was able to register. But does anyone understand the difference b/w the standard and premium delivery service if you are picking up at courier office? Is it just having more options for the physical location you pick up at or is it faster?

Congratulations..I had my medicals at Dr.Mascarenhas on April 18th. It was pretty smooth. The results were electronically submitted to the consulate in a week. Would definitely recommend 

Great thanks! And do you get notified when the consulate receives them? And do you basically know that everything in the medical is cleared once you leave the Dr.'s office? Or is there a chance that something gets caught at the consulate after the Dr. sends the results there?

Got the IL this morning. Interview set for June 1. Will update timeline accordingly. Does anyone recommend Dr. Mascarenhas in Toronto over Dr. Zatzman in Vaughan (or other way)? Anyone recently had there medical done and knows how quick the turnaround time is at either?

Have noticed that the number of IR1/CR1 issuances have been slowing down over the last few months thru March. Any reason to think that trend will continue over the next few months, or is this just random?

no...  , feb 18th here. but happy that jans are getting done, fingers crossed we will be next in line! 

 

if ILs are out today, is that it for the month or will they have another round later this month?

No idea. Consulate website cites majority of ILs as of April 1 are Feb DQ. Would have thought you'd see some Feb DQ posts on here if the entire months ILs were sent out this morning, but maybe not. 

Anyone w/ February DQ get IL this morning?

When the Montreal Consulate website cites "most IR/fiance visa cases being scheduled for interview ... were DQ at NC in February 2022", any idea or data on what % of the February DQ gets the IL? 51%? 95%? Or any idea if you are less likely to get the IL if you were DQ'ed towards the end of February?
