Hello there again... okay now this question, my laywer recommends bring the kids to the interview, but no bags allowed no electronic devices OMG, they will be bouncing off the walls, How long did it take from the minute you walked in the door untill you were done the actual interview? I will have to figure this out, my packet 3 said nothing about bringing the rug rats, just all the paper work of course! thanks again...

Sorry, above interview in Montreal office.....

I would email the Montreal Consulate and ask if you should bring your children to the interview. I think it depends on their ages.

I wouldn't take them to the interview if it's not absolutely necessary. There is usually a lot of waiting and it will just make you uptight.

Good luck.

As far as I know....they only have to come if they are over 14. Mine was 14 and was required to attend as they had to fingerprint him and stuff same as for me. I would double check, but ya, it wouldnt be a lot of fun if its crowded and they are bored and it takes a while.
Now I called the consulate to confirm this and they told me he didnt have to come, because he was just 14, thank god I was suspicious and had read up here first and brought him because it would have meant a second trip, they also told me same day visa...not true, also that they were open saturday if the visa wasnt ready on the friday of my interview that I could get it Saturday, also not true, there was one other thing I cant remember but there were 4 things I asked and i got 4 out of 4 answers from them wrong, so its best to read up on thier website and such first. i mentioned all this to the interviewer, he said they were going to have to have a meeting to retrain staff LOL.

They don't have to go if they are under 14. I would not take them if they are.

I emailed montreal to ask this this week and still no reply. I also emailed them about something else and they never did reply. If you call they tell you to email them. I really don't think they know what there doing b/c they also sent me the wrong package for the k-3. After numerous emails and no replys the did send the right package. I am very fustrated with MTL.
