Welp, it boils down to this. Interview is tomorrow (K-1).

Ohmygod the interview is tomorrow.

I'm flying out from Calgary to Montreal today (still no idea where I'm staying for 1 night, lol) and I'll be flying back in the evening after the interview tomorrow. It's crazy to think how long it took everything to process, but suddenly it's like "holy #######, it's already tomorrow?!". Shortly, I'm gonna be driving to my parent's place shortly to drop my car off there since they live near the airport so I don't have to bother with airport parking charges.

I feel super prepared though, I've got a large-ish binder of pretty much everything and then some, full of plenty of photographs, sealed medical results from Vancouver, docs, etc.

This is crazy to think -- We've been together for 5+ years, first meeting because we were both artists on deviantart.com and I had an interest in his artwork.

Well, when I'm in Montreal and got a place to stay...what should I do in the meantime? I've never been to Quebec before and I'm told to check out poutine places and such, but is there anything cool around Montreal I should definitely check out while I'm there for my extremely short less-than-24-hour stay?

You haven't booked a hotel or hostel room?

Goodluck on your interview. Montreal's one of my fav cities in Canada. You should definitely hang out in Old Montreal.. there are cool little shops and bakeries you can try. I like going to "Montreal Poutine" for some authentic poutine.

P.s. hotels are a bit pricey around that area I would start looking asap.

Hey! my interview is also tomorrow. I've been in Montreal for the last few days (Did my medical here) and Old Montreal is really cool. There is also a lot of museums and stuff downtown.

Good Luck!

If you're into art (as I am) seriously just poke around the alleyways. There is a ton of very good street art to be found. I would start near the Quartier des Spectatcles and start to head downhill from there back towards Chinatown. I always have great street art hunting when I'm there with my fiance (he lives in Montreal). Good luck!

Our interview is today as well! Wishing you all luck! ??

[zilchfox 296]

Hey all!

So my visa was approved today! I'm really happy! I will be writing a review about it in the next few hours, it turned out to be actually very easy!

I stayed at Motel Pierre for $68/night which was about 20 minutes from the consulate but it worked.

Thank you for all the good luck, it really helped!

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with how it all went about. Check my profile for my review of the consulate and my experience! My apologies for it being a wall of text.

And yes, I will definitely update you guys on how long it takes to get the visa and passport. Currently the status says "Ready" and last updated was yesterday. Based on another topic I've made regarding it, it seems to be normal so I hope to have it soon!

Congrats! We were in line with you as well (our interview was at 7:45). My fiancé and I were discussing who you were in the line while reading your review.

We were also approved!

I was wearing a grey sweater and holding a blue binder. )

I'm glad to hear you guys got approved, too! There was a gentleman next to me who had a ton of stuff and I wonder if he got approved, we chatted for a while about our cases.

Regardless, now my eyes are glued to the CEAC website checking for status updates! Any movement for you guys yet? So far nothing for me, but I'm like an impatient child at this point, haha.
