Email them Sunday night. Just ask them under the circumstances describe the fact that they child is in distress and needs to be with her father and you off course now that she has lost her mother. Tell them you though the embassy would deal with the matter quickly on human and compassionate grounds and you and her Father booked the child's ticket for x date.I’m gonna email them on Monday and ask if I should change the flight. Hopefully they will give me some good news and my stepdaughter can be here for Canada Day
Tell them if necessary someone can come and pick up the passport and documents if necessary.
