Just wanted to send some hope out there since the IV scheduling tool seems to have taken longer than expected to be updated.
I know a fellow Canadian that just confirmed they received their IL recently for early July 2026. EB1 visa, DQ date end of Jan 2026. Don't have any further details. According to the IV Scheduling tool which I've been monitoring for the Montreal consulate for employment-based preference, it says currently reviewing cases from Nov 2025. Based on the information from my friend, looks like they're reviewing cases into Jan 2026, possibly Feb 2026 now.
