i did get the physical address of the embassy from my MP this morning, I called puralator and they said it will got to Haiti and then deleivered by DHL, so I am happy to hear DHL is very reliable, thanks for that comment. I just get in a panick when I need to send something to Haiti immigration at least this way I can track it and do not have to drive 2 hours to another city to find a UPS. So wish me luck it is going to Haiti (again) today. Hopefully this is the last thing we need to send.

Mart,
my fingers are crossed
You shouldn't have problems with DHL I used them twice to ship to DR (once via Purolator) and my husband received both packages with no problems.

Mart0417 - I used DHL to send a couple of papers to my husband and it was really fast. It ended up taking only 24 hours to get to him from Canada. I would recommend them for sure!

After going through as much information as I could, I found in several locations that Haiti is suppose to send an acknowledement letter when they receive your application. I have never received one nor has my husband. I am wondering if anyone else has ever recieved notification from Haiti that their application is there. ( excluding the website)

Hey mart0417

I never recieved one either. I called Mississuga and I was told not everyone gets one of these letters, and that it does'nt matter. When we spoke to Ottawa the lady there said that you should recieve a letter of acknowledment. So do you see why Haiti and everyone else does'nt have a clue what they are doing. No wonder why no one's application is getting done. Their to busy sitting on their axx's .

[mart0417]

i totally hear you. I am really tired of hearing about cases that went in after ours and are complete. Why is this happening.

[Johana]

I have looked at other Visa Embassy websites. There is definitely different processes at different locations.

Amongst other information....
Mexico - website states that they will send out an acknowledgement letter 15 days after they receive the application from Mississauga
Tiempos Estimados de Proceso

Jamaica - website states to wait 8 weeks for the acknowledgement letter
Jamaica :: Home :: Discover Canada :: Visas and Immigration

Aside from the fact that other Embassies "allow" you to contact them regarding the application (as opposed to Haiti where their website flat out tells you not to contact them) most people wouldn't need to email Haiti if they sent out the ack. letter which contains the B file number. Then you could use E-CAS as they instruct you to do.

So does it say anything anywhere that Haiti sends out a letter of acknowledgement? Has anyone recieved a letter from Haiti that has gone through the process or is currently going through right now?

Wow, I just checked out those websites... I'm impressed in how organized the Embassy in Jamaica and in Mexico are. Why does'nt Haiti post all that information too. Instead they post, "don't call "if "you send more than one e-mail, we will only answer the last one you send". But who are they really trying to kind, cause they don't even do that. They are suppose to get back to you within 28 days. Do they .......NO.
