Clarification Whether you need a finger-print one depends on current residency. According to the instructions in my packet 3 RESIDENTS of Canada only need a name-based one. FORMER RESIDENTS of Canada require a fingerprinted one.

Only Montreal Yes, Montreal is the only consulate doing Green Card processing. For more details on times, etc. there is a comprehensive discussion going on in this section devoted to Montreal CPers.

On my own I have done the entire GC process on my own, and have never consulted a lawyer. Is it complex. Yes, but does require time learning about the process. I am not done yet, but almost - I am only waiting for my interview.

Pkt 3 I received my Packet 3 in late December. It was reviewed at the National Visa Center on January 31st.

New procedure and Packet 3 There is some confusion about where to send the packet 3. The simply answer is that it depends on the consulate you seeking processing at. Increasingly the National Visa Center is taking responsibility for processing prior to the interview, including the packet 3. If...

processing time Mine was received in St. Louis on January 7th and was at the NVC on the 9th! 2 days!

My experience I asked someone at the NVC about this. She said to do the best job I could, but recognized that it might impossible to be 100% accurate. It seems that they are most concerned about times in the U.S. where we were not visitors, or there longer than 6 months (which is exceeds the...

kxFamily: Question on medicals Do you still have the list of approved doctors in Canada for the medicals. I\'ve heard of the one in Toronto, but was wondering in what other cities they have doctors that we can use?

Updated insight To confirm what I stated earlier, my packet 3 was assessed and approved using local police (i.e. not RCMP) PCC. They obviously did not see it as a problem, especially since they all access the same nationwide database.

Canadian info In my packet was a sheet describing all the specific requirements for (Packet 3) as it applies to Canadians. It should be included in your packet.

Contact the NVC Your packet is not processed at this point in Montreal. Instead, the National Visa Center does the processing and sets the interview date.

Interview date info I phoned the NVC on Friday and they willingly passed on the appointment date information to me! Obviously, I still still need to receive the "official" notice. I was told that it is "in the mail."

Update PK3-YOU (12/28) PK3-STL (12/31) STL-NVC (1/9) REV-NVC (1/31) PK4-YOU (still waiting) INT-MTL (4/11)

Thanks ... I will keep everyone posted.  

Passport Yes, Canadian citizens require a passport. In fact, you will have to send a photocopy of the information page with the remainder of your documents.

Confirmation Yes, according to the latest Packet 3 for Montreal interviews, current residents of Canada only need a name-based police certificate. I am not sure what you mean by "get twice".
