    Third Attempt at contacting Lima office finally received a "Read Receipt"

    As I suspected, I think everything at the Cdn Embassy has probably been completely on hold while they made all the arrangements leading up to the signing of the Canada-Peru free trade agreement AT the Cdn Embassy yesterday.
