Visa hell, part #27

I am cursed. Cursed cursed cursed. I mailed everything off on Saturday morning to the embassy. I paid for the 2-3 day Express Delivery via Canada Post (which costs more than my soul). The girl said that she could not guarantee its delivery to Ottawa on Monday as it was a holiday here in the Maritimes. She guaranteed that it would arrive at the embassy on Tuesday.

Fast forward three days. The package still hasn't arrived. An angry call to Canada Post tells us that due to the holiday, the earliest we can expect its arrival is Thursday. THURSDAY! I'm leaving two weeks from yesterday! My boss has rearranged his schedule to meet me at the airport. I have plans in Montreal.

I hope this isn't a precursor for what's to come once I arrive in Europe.
