On of the main reason why Montreal got into this crazy long waiting time is because Trump put a moratorium on Green Card at the start of the pandemic which created this crazy backlog. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/21/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-immigration-ban.html

My wife and my daughter (3 years) had their interviews in July 2023. My wife brought our daughter to the interview and there was no problem at the Montreal Consulate.

I saw your reply after posting my first reply. Yes, if you have other options than Montreal, you should choose another like 485. The only downside with 485 is that you can't leave the country while applying for 485 unless you get AP (advance parol).

Sadly, yes. My wife and my daughter were in the same situation as you. I got my green card via EB2 when I was in the US. My wife went back to Canada to study so she couldn't get the green card with me. We decided to go with the I824 process which is initially faster than I130 but much slower when you are waiting for the interview at Montreal. The whole process took more than 2 years... Their DQ date was June 2021 and their interview date was July 2023. Unless the processing time dramatically changes, you will wait almost 2 years... If you were unlucky, you could get DS5535 and wait even longer... Good luck and hopefully everything will go faster!
