Hi Ron,

After all that you guys have been through, I'd be really cautious about sending everything back to them. When do you think you're going to be activating the visa? I'd seriously consider what trailmix said. Either ignore them completely, and just send those things back to them after you've activated your K-1 and are in the U.S., ignore then completely right now, or just send them back what you think you shouldn't have. You should have your visa, and your passport, that's the part that I don't know that I'd send back to them...why do they need THAT??

Let us know what your decision is, and what transpires!

Obviously we haven't yet been through enough, as long as I have my tums and Sharon has her meds we will survive. If only I knew they wanted everything back so they didn't look stupid when I showed up at the POE with the package the way they sent I would keep it, but by keeping it there may be problems at the POE or further on down the line.
I was going to activate the visa at the end of November and I'm not changing that date just yet. I will send them what I think is thiers and if anything is missing they can ask for it.

I'd almost be tempted to just drive there myself and see if I could sort it out in person, so at least they didn't have the power to delay things anymore.


I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. I'm worried that they will prolong everything buy claiming I did something wrong, thier passing the buck.

My question is was this an error and if so can I bring everything and have the embassy or the POE officers at the airport in Ottawa sort through what I have and repackage everything or should everything be left as is.

Thank you

I think you should do exactly as the notice/letter/email asks - it doesn't say (correct me if I'm wrong) that you can just let a CBP officer at the airport do this for you.


The first two lines of the post are thiers requesting that everything be sent to Montréal and that is what I will do. the problem is I have no idea what all was in the package they sent. What I did recieve from them was the brown do not open envelope and very many loose originals and photocopies of our documents. The thing that boths me now I will have to send them everything and pray they return to me what they don't need or want.

When I received my visa 2 weeks ago I was more interested in the passport and the visa to notice that with the documents I requested be returned (original document) there were other documents that maybe should not have been included.

When I opened the mailed envelope (outer) the was inside a brown envelope marked do not open this I expected but there were also many other papers many were originals that over the past few days I have been separating and placing within my package of originals when I found the following (a record of IBIS Query (ROIQ)).

My question is was this an error and if so can I bring everything and have the embassy or the POE officers at the airport in Ottawa sort through what I have and repackage everything or should everything be left as is.

Thank you

I hope you get the visa soon because you're the competition, I trying for a record here and the trouble is I have no clue as to who the holder of the title of longest at the Montreal Consulate is, I have as of today 1117 days and going strong but coming to the end.

[size="3"]When two people contradict each other as OP4 and OP5 did, you can bet that one OP4 is new and assumes that since the visa is approved it is on its way and you should be advised; OP5 definitely knows the process better and knows that even though the visa is ready to go there is still a little work to be done and no way would I am sure advise anyone that there visa is on its way. Keep an eye on the mailman, I'm damn sure that this coming week is all yours. Like the Blackeyed Peas say "I've got a feeling".

Question; Who is HE? OP5, I thought he was a SHE!


I hope you are right - you defintely have the record, I'm no where close on # of days. From what I read, you should get your visa very soon as well.

Sorry I have no way of knowing if it's a he or she - I just used the oldest politically incorrect way to describe a person.

It doesn't really matter if he's a he or she's a she, what matters is they they keep thosse finger working and supply us with the answers we are looking for.
Having a record is just something someone else wants normally, but this one, our personal record I hope no-one ever get to claim the title it is not one to celebrate.

That's weird INK, I haven't seen this with evidence of domicile being submitted - however it's kind of a new thing around here, we haven't had that many DCF Canada people until now.

I would write them back and ask them to clarify - that extra admin work might just be reviewing your file - ie: looking at the additional domicile info.


Agreed - we were thrying to find that out but you know they don't really share much on their internal processes. It is weird as I have seen a few people submitting evidence for domicile, but never extra admin work. You may be right that it is nothing more than just looking at the file...guess we'll just have to wait this out.

I hope you finally get an answer that will make sense to you.
A little side note; OP5 seems to be growing a heart, I have never seen the word apologize in any communication from any consulate employee. This may be a new beginning.

BTW if anyone can explain what OP5 means after receiving the other email from OP6, it would be appreciated (assuming that we clearly missing something here).


It's a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing.
They both may have recieved the same message but OP6 is new and doesn't know the length of time it takes to put the package together and assumed it was done and going out, and OP5 may be more experienced and knows when that message is recieved her is a time lapse for everything is ready to go.
To my thinking the issuance of the visa means that they have the document, they must marry it with the passport, then pull your file then the documents to be inserted in the brown do not open envelope and do so then mail everything to you.

I got one for you Ron.

Sept 21: Please be advised that your visa was issued on today so you should be receiving it this week.
Thank you for your patience.
OP6

Today: The visa is still not issued, it is in the "PROCESS" of being issued. we will advise you.

OP5

So while we have been trying to find out how Canada Post messed up and did not deliver, we get this. We are at their mercy and they know it too well.

It is sickening when you get OP6's and wait over a week wondering where the envelope is and what could have happened to it, it's not enough the your nerves are basically raw from the process to start off then OP5 issues their little not yet it's still here and being put together. I got a phone call to confirm my address before they sent it and three days later it ws in my hands. Hopefully you will have it very soon and you will be done with them. Regarding Canada Post, if you are in an apartment ask a friend or neighbour to check for your package, the post man simply dropped my package in the lobby and walked away,anyone could have taken it and I wouldn't have known any different, I was lucky a friend and neighbour saw it and kept it for me.
All the best to you and I do hope that everything is over and done with in the next few days.
Ron/SharonMaleCanada2009-10-01 06:09:00

The documents are in our mail to be processed in order of receipt. Once we review the entire file we will advise you further.

In the short time I had my visa in my hands I was able to advise my employer and landlord that I was giving notice and would be moving soon, that was before I found out everything had to be returned to Montreal for re-packaging. I was hoping it would be done in a week but a week has passed. My employer has already found a replacement and my landlord may have a new tenant for my apartment by tomorrow. I was to purchase my ticket shortly but needless to say that is now on hold.

Thank you for your assistance.

Your always welcome to drop by.

Leaf bashing season coming up quickly, won't be here for the end of it though, being from Ottawa I have the Senators here and not being a sports fans bashing isn't my thing.
Everything for us has always moved forward though it was mostly up hill and each step had a lesson to be learned and we have learned a lot about each other. Sharon is one fantastic woman and will be an excellent life partner and I can only hope to be in her life forever. Now that she has her life on track I must get there and do the same.

It takes pressure to make diamonds, Sharon's a gem and so are you! good.gif

Thank you, but we as every other gem here are travelers beginning at the same point and ending at the same destination as everyone else. None of us have the right to choose the speed with which we travel so we go with what we have been given. God knows what we can and can't handle and perhaps God thought a fast trip would be to much for us or God knew we needed more time to learn and blend and solidify what was given to us for a better and brighter future together.

Very well said but it's nice to know that you didn't have to wander in the desert for forty years. good.gif

Next month marks our 7th year together and If we had to go another 33+ years to reach the 40 years we could and would do it as there is an end date, the difficult part right now is I have had the visa in my hands and had to return it and not letting Sharon know because these past 2 weeks have been hard on her. I am not keep it a secret form her I just need the right time for her and the right time may be once I have everything in my hands again.

Definately need to return it to have it put together properly, I don't want to find out the problem would be if I brought everything to the airport as it is now. The person I spoke with sounded very serious when he said "we will have a problem" what he said wasn't said casualy, it was more like if it isn't right you're up the creek without a paddle. That tone definatly does not need any second thought.
Now I have to photocopy everything to be sure it's all there when I get it back.

Everything went well regarding the interview yesterday, Sharon was happy with it. That is two down and one to go. She is taking a weeks holiday starting today adn they will call to set up the next and last interview, She was told yesterdays was the toughest of them all.

Thank you much

Just got back from the airport to see if they would do things right regarding my paperwork from Montréal.
I explained what had happened without say Montréal wanted everything back and was told to send it all back to Montréal bcause Montréal is DOS and they at the airport are not. What I was told very slowly and definately clearly so there would be no misunderstanding was "if we look at your package and everything is not in order or was opened there is going to be trouble". I guess it is time to comply with Montréal's request or get one hell of a sermon or denied entry later on.
I'm about ready to change my Tums for Demerol don't feel no pain with them.

Réjean & Pamela * k1 * 2006-11-20 * 2007-01-22 & 2007-03-02 * 2007-08-08 * 261 * 199/160, should be right after Lynette & Ed and before Rachel & Davin as you go down the list.


Ah... for some reason Rejean & Pamela are the last on the list...hmmm


Sorry Melyssa, but there seems to be quite a few that are missing from the list you got. I noticed that when copied and pasted into MS Word the formating changes, and that there are 3 page brakes, not one under the other but 2 where the first and second pages are under each other and the 3rd page is off to the side. I am slowly re-typing the doc and will send to you asap and retain it making changes as needed.

It is 6 months from March 28th, the day they received your P3 at Montreal. On here you are next in line for the letter. Their 6 month thing has to be a worse case senario and not at all the factual or realistic timeframe, you're going to get it in couple of weeks

I think there are still some March P3's left... I've only seen dates for early March P3's in early/mid August... but maybe the rest of March P3's will get theirs in late August


According to the last list I saw there are 2 February P3 people left both I have not seen for quite a while. the first is Tara & Alex, the second is Amy & Rod.
The 2 P3's still waiting from March are; first is Pa & Sa and the second is Tinker & J.W.
Then we fall into the April P3's
Don't worry too much our time is coming


Amy & Rod and Pa & Sa both got their interview for August 8 so I guess the Canadian parties will be seeing each other lol... Not sure about Tara & Alex though!

I'm still kinda shaking all over, but all of a sudden, we've got to scramble. That's less than TWO WEEKS from today!

This is the best damn news that could be read here, Congratulation on the date, I hope there is someone to catch Sharon when you tell her.

Sorry for the rant, it's just insanity.

I hope you hear something positive soon, I know how we feel about everything and I am sure that you are feeling the pains this process brings.

Enjoy the stress because this the last time you will have to go through any stress alone, in the past you had ED's support but that is nothing to the support you will have from him with your being together. Don't worry about the interview it also will pass and soon enough be another memory to you. I'm betting that your son is about as excited as you are right now, I hope he makes good friends near his new home very soon so the new school is easier to cope with. I will be waiting for the interview update, I have been ticking your day off the calendar because mine are still a bit away.
Take care and have a safe trip to Montreal and back

PS I gave evreything to my daughter, what I am keeping already in Kansas except for 2 suitcases and enough furniture for a small batchelor appartment

Update::::

Nothing for us to add time wise since we are still where we were last time our position was updated.
On a side note I went to my family doctors at the request of the Consulate doctor to clarify certain matters, which was done rather quickly. Now my family doctor has to type everything up and get it off to the Consulate doctor. We are hoping that this will be the end to the medical examination, which started on June 7th and I will have the documentation in my hands by at the latest mid August.


That's great!!! you should have that issue all cleared up before your interview :)


Right now we're not expecting anything from Montreal until September so for sure the medical issues should be resolved by then. I will call the doc in two weeks to see if she has everything and find out when I can expect to get the docs.

Lynette, I'm waiting to see you're on your way to Montreal, only 8 days left for you, all the best to ya.

I guess we are pretty much one the same time line for the packet 4 to arrive. I would have thought you would have gotten yours in a week or two, I can understand mine taking more time but in your case they seem to have taken good time.

It was on tinker's idea that I built on since Tinker can't help because of the distance. I only hope now that someone here knows someone that has a decent place that Sharon could share until everything comes together. I hope that Sharon's family and friends are by her side and supporting her as they can. Tinker thanks for planting the seed, I hope something comes of it.

I wish I had heard about this earlier, I live in Ottawa and am moving from a 2 bedroom to a batchelor on August 1st since I have more waiting time and because of the wasted space since my daughter moved out with 90% of the funishings. If I had a furnished bedroom for her she could have had a better environment to spend her time than the Y does. There are others here from Ottawa that if they read this just might be able to help Sharon with a more decent short term living arrangement.
I am truely sorry that everything is taking so long for you and Sharon, there is no rhyme or reason for Montreal to do as they are. I hope someone from here can help her so it would be much easier on both of you.

I can simpathize with Sharon since I have spent sometime at the Y also but I was with my daughter. I am so sorry that you are going through all of this when things should have moved much quicker for you. I hope the very near future brings you the good news that you are waiting for.
