| Embassy Review : |
Interview was August 8, 2011
I arrived at about 6:50 and there were 7 others in front of me. One lady with a suitcase , which i new would be trouble. At 7:30 the security guard started letting people in, and the lady with the suitcase was rejected. Latter I found that she went to a local coffee shop and begged someone to take care of it.
The security checkpoint was just like going though an airport securty setup. Remove your belt, checked all your belongings, etc DO NOT take anything extra with you, they are serious about that! That went well and i was through in a minute. Then is was off to the basement to wait by the elevator. At 8:00 the security guard let about 10 people on the elevator and we went to the 19th floor where we were given numbers. Unlike other reviews our crowd was well behaved and respected the order in which we go there. I was C6. The 19th floor has a great view of montreal, don't forget to enjoy that. They also have a vending machine for candy bars and softdrinks (bring exact change). It did not take long before C1-C6 were being called up to the windows for information. I was not prepared for the booth "windows" by previous reviews. They are bank style glass windows with the small slot to slide documents through. I found it hard to hear what the person was saying to me, but they adjusted the volume upon request. Window 1 was fast, and so was window 2, but then came the wait for the interview. That was an 2 hours later for me at about 10:00. Its really good to be well as they quickly ask for your various items (medical, passport, birth certificate, etc).
The interview was quick too, but then for me came the devestating news; my passport was damaged and they could not put a visa in it. I was stunned because i have been using that passport as it was for the last 2 years without any problems and multiple border crossings. OH WELL. Live and learn. The very nice lady said that i need to get a new passport and send it back to her as quickly as possible other than that all papers were in order. So I left...rejected ,,,but almost approved. The lesson here is to made sure your passport is in top notch shape. If you have any doubts take it to your nearest Canadian Passport office first and let them have a look at it.
When i too mine to the passport office to get a replacement they said it was clearly water damaged and they were suprised i was able to use it anywhere. pfffffffffff
The good news is that Passport Canada has an emergency 24 hour turn around for a passport and i was able to get a new one and send it back to montreal right away. the bad news..... i have no idea how long its going to sit in montreal before they put the visa in it. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
