You could call/email your closest embassy to be sure. For the K-1 visa there is only Montreal and Vancouver.... Not all that convenient for most people! I don't know if embassy's do interviews for certain types of visas or not.

Your "Only" option is Montreal. That is the Consulate for our area. I'm in Pictou, NS, my application has been approved & now waiting on the date for my interview. Not to discourage you but to add some more trauma & expense to our life living so far away from Montreal is having to go to Montreal for the medical as well. You have to wait 3 additional days after the medical exam for your results for a total of 4 days before the interview. So you can bet on at least 5 nights in a hotel in Montreal.

Eeek I am from New Glasgow! :)

& yes Montreal is the only place, I went to Toronto for my medical to get it out of the way (I have family there) so I wouldn't have to stay for a week in Montreal alone, & flew to Montreal the day before my interview & flew home the next day!

So medical goes with interview? And I got a choice to do medical in Toronto?

Sucks they will have to go to Montreal.

You can get your medical done at any of the approved places in Canada. Montreal is the closest so that is why a lot of people will stay in Montreal for a week and get their medical done before the interview, so you have time to get the results before the medical.
