Happy Birthday to ME!!!!
So, today I got a great birthday present. A ton of people on the visa journey Canadian forum called in to find out the status of their interview scheduling. It had been starting to look like a much longer wait than we’d hoped for… it had been weeks and weeks since a decent number of people had received an interview date for their visa application at the Montreal Consulate. It had reached a point where some of us wanted to write in complaint letters, and were starting to come up with alternate plans, and it was really all up in the air. It’s a very stressful thing to have your life on hold, and in the hands of someone else.
Anyways, the interview dates just kept rolling in! Call after call, person after person kept updating ‘my interview is this date!’ ‘my interview is that date!’. So I really wanted to call too, to find out! Unfortunately, their hours are the same as my work hours, so I had to ask Dan to call. After some fighting with their automated menu, he got through to someone and found our that… are you ready?!…. Our Visa Interview is NOVEMBER 20th!!! OMG!!! Can’t confirm things 100% about it until I receive a letter in the mail from them, but this is FANTASTIC news! This means I can move when I originally wanted to, and also get to see Dan sooner than expected! Not to mention, can sort of start planning now!
I’ll have to rush around and get the medical exam booked in Toronto ASAP, as that needs to be done prior to the interview. I also need to get my chicken pox vaccine! Yikes! So much waiting, only to have it all come down to the last minute, it seems!
Anyways, with this in place, I’ll definitely have more to talk about on here now, cause things will start happening, and they’ll be happening FAST!
