Excuse my ignorance but I'll be dealing with this in Montreal hopefully in the next 6-8 months here, lol. What exactly do we need DHL for? Isn't that a delivery company like UPS?

yes its like UPS and FEDEX etc but montreal consulate uses it to send the passport/visa or whatever it is they send to the address closest to the beneficiary, after you get an interview email it will tell you to look up specific consulate procedures etc... then gives you a link to the canadian visa website which you register for a DHL pick up location. then i guess the consulate gives a waybill number for tracking. sorry someone else will chime in who is better at explaining this. I accidently started to do it as permanently immigrate schedule by NVC at first and got scared when it said next available date is july 6 if you were to schedule then I saw register for courier services only and filled out the information then after that it gave me a list of locations to chose from. good luck!

Just choose the nearest DHL location to you. Do not worry about the appointment date schedule because NVC already scheduled you. The consulate do not give waybill. You will see the waybill on the consulate site where you signed up for the DHL by entering your passport number and your date of birth. My waybill didn't show up on the consulate site after 2 days after my interview, but I was able to pick up my passport 3 days after my interview. You will get a call from DHL when your passport is ready to be picked up.

I thought you were still at NVC? You can't register for a DHL location until after you get your CC and you have an interview date assigned. That's probably why you've been having problems. You're just going to have to wait.

Pop this back up to the top here... so basically after we pay the fees, fill out and send in the DS-260/261 and the 864 and thats all done... they then reply back to set up an interview date right? Then after the interview date is set we get instructions how to set up this courier?

Once NVC receives the AOS and IV packages and reviews them, they close the case (if no RFEs). Then after a couple of days or weeks, an interview date is scheduled. An email is sent out with the date and information on the interview.

Once that's done, you go to the CSC site to sign up for a DHL location. You won't get instructions on setting up the DHL service from NVC. And the consulate doesn't email you at all. You can read the instructions though at the website found here: http://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/us_courier_information It's under the heading IV Applicant Needing to Register for DHL.

I also took screenshots of the DHL process that you can find on this blog post of mine: http://journeythroughimmigration.blogspot.com/2011/04/dhl-location-chosen-interview.html
