2. how long does it take in Montreal?
3. My online profile shows - "pending Review" - what is the next process?
4. I see people in this thread checking GOES for next available date? what is that and why is that?
please let me know. thanks
You should have no problem getting approved unless you have a criminal record or past issues with customs infractions. Current processing times are 8-12 weeks for approval so don't expect anything til novermber or december. Once conditionally approved you will get an email telling you to log into the website and choose a time for an interview. People often book the 1st available spot as you only have 30 days to schedule an interview even if it's 3 months away. You can then check back for cancellations and reschedule the interview to an earlier time. Sometimes booking the interview at a boarder crossing is easier than airport locations. YVR area seems to be the worst location for interviews. YHZ is the easiest.
