The first available appointment at Montreal airport was on May 7, so I tried for Champlain, NY, which had a few slots available for Feb 18, which was the following working day (since Feb 14 was a Friday and Feb 17 was President's Day).
I have had my interview and I am now waiting for the card.
When I thought I was near the finish line, I had to endure some more drama.
I was told my card was printed on Feb 21, but I hadn't received anything in the mail by Mar 22. So I called (again) CBP in Champlain, and they reprinted the card for me. I have subsequently realized that the system printed my address ignoring the second line, therefore omitting the apartment number, therefore the letter containing the first card was not delivered.
The new card was printed on Mar 27 and delivered by Apr 4.
I still have an open problem with regards to the use of GE kiosks. They do NOT accept my Italian passport (error message says that Canadian citizen member should use a Canadian passport, which I don't have since I am a Canadian LPR), and they do NOT accept the Canadian Permanent Resident Card. I have been suggested by CBP to use my NEXUS Card - I will try next time.
