Although I know its a very nervous and trying time and experience, Just take a deep breath and go one step at a time. Once it is done and you hopefully have been approved. You will sit back and smile, laugh and cry at the whole damn process and how easy the interview actually was. 5 or 10 min talking to a couple of people for what is a life changing event and will effect what happens to you the rest of your life... Ok that last part didn't really help, but really take it easy think everything through and be truthful and it will all come out in your favor in the end. Im sure you have all your paper work in excellent order. And ready to take out at the second a question is asked so take it easy. Dont open your medical folder, dont forget your Express post and photos. and sit back and watch it all happen so quick you won't even remember from the time you walked through the metal detectors, to the time you walked out with your approval and down the street to Tim Hortons for breakfast.. GOOD LUCK.

Get there early, like 6:30am. The line forms fast and you want that "A" so you can go first. Remind those who try and line up on the right that the line forms on the left (the security guard will tell them that but they may try and push in front of you - as was our experience). No big bags, they aren't allowed in (even big purses, leave them in the car or hotel)

Be pleasant (even if they aren't) smile and honestly, try and enjoy it. This is a big deal and enjoy it, maybe not the pressure and the stress but the rest is pretty cool. Oh, and take a moment to enjoy the view from the waiting room, it's pretty cool

Good luck

read my review... and WRITE YOUR TRACKING NUMBER DOWN.. DO IT NOW.. people who haven't seem to be having a very stressful time ... so do it.

the doors open at 7:30... I arrived at 7:00 and I was first (well second but the girl left) in line.

They give you an instruction sheet.. read it because that is exactly how it goes..and it lists everything they are going to request from you.

Don't forget to write the back of your name on your two passport style photos.

it's pretty fast..and simple! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh you're a different visa.. sorry LOL.. but still review might help ya a little
