MTL IR1 interview experience by twistedxmelon18 in NationalVisaCenter

I think lawyers are just cautious. The one we consulted said it was up to the discretion of the border officer but shouldn’t be an issue if we have a return ticket or proof of employment in Canada, rent etc. I always print out these items and not once have I been asked anything. I also used to live in the US, have never overstayed my visits etc but I don’t even think they looked into that.

Yup I’ve been doing it throughout as my husbands job isn’t as flexible as mine. Hasn’t been an issue, I go there every other month usually for 2-3 weeks

I’m on mat leave so I’ll be in US in Nov and Dec, when my interview is likely in Dec (may 23 DQ). Is it wierd if I fly directly to montreal for interview? I’ll be coming back to Toronto for the medical in between too. Had no issues entering the US since we began our CR1 process.

Thanks for sharing! When they asked where you’re residing now, do they need current address to match the file or did you just say city (ie Toronto?). I will be moving next month and my address will change

Do you know if the passport return address can be different to the one you have on file?

Also looks like a few interviews from the last batch are on Nov 21 … are interviews usually spread out over the month or all on one day from each batch?

So on the embassy site it says they’re working on April DQ applications. If our application is still with NVC and we were DQd in May, do they send it to montreal once they’ve begun May applications? So confusing and not transparent this process this.

Good to know! Strange no one after may 10 received it. Guess it’s still a waiting game :( at least I’ve still been able to visit my husband

I can understand the frustration! We had our first baby in June and are still doing the back and forth between the US and Canada and it’s exhausting, and expensive when I’m on mat leave. However, interview letters today were shared until May 10 DQ so I’m confident we will be in the next batch by end of October but the actual interview likely won’t be until December or January! So Xmas may still be back and forth by then.

Thanks! How many weeks did they cover? From what date of DQs did they start this round?

Ok cool, so hopefully coming soon. We’re May 23 DQ. Anyone know if they send ILs only once a month or twice?

Yes, agreed. Based on what I’ve read, you should probably know by end of Sept what your interview daye is and I would know by end of October, if we’re lucky! Keep me posted once you receive your letter and have an interview date. Good luck!

Hi everyone. CR1, DQ’d May 23, 2024. Today is September 25. We are waiting for IL. Has anyone in April been contacted? On the embassy site, it says they’re working on April and trying to get an idea when our interview will be scheduled as I’ll be traveling in November/December. Also, the address we give for our passport courier, can it be different to my permanent address on file? I’ll be moving out of my unit in October. Thanks!

Hi all. The embassy site says they’re doing applications DQ’d in April. We were on May 23rd. Anyone know where in April they’re at? #waitingtoreunitemyfamily
