My interview was on Thursday October 22nd - scheduled for 9am. I arrived to the line around 830 and was done everything and back in my hotel (a block away) by 1045am.

The line-up, what to bring, security etc. are all the same as people have said so not going to go into great detail. It was smooth, with waiting only outside. Once through security we were directed to take the elevator ourselves. Note on accessibility: there are several steps up and then a full flight of steps down after security and before the elevator. There may be a more accessible way but of note if you use a mobility device.

At the first window I was asked for passport, medical, I864 and back up documents, long form birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce certificates, police check and had fingerprints taken. She did not want copies (I had brought notarized copies) only the originals.

At the second interview window I was sworn in and then asked:
* My husb... read complete review

Overall experience was pleasant.

Appointment time was 740 am arrived at consulate at 7 am. Small line of people maybe 3 or 4 ahead of us. Doors opened promptly at 730 am. They brought out barriers make sure you are standing against the wall as that will be where you need to line up. They check your appointment confirmation and that you are regustered with loomis they will give you a laminated number I got #2. NOTE DO NOT BRING LARGE BAGS OR BACKPACKS THEY WILL TURN YOU AWAY. I did not bring anything with me except documents and cell phone. Also note they will NOT allow anyone in the consulate with you except a US citizen and they must show their US passport to be allowed in. You will go through security like at the airport and they will take your cell phone and give you a ticket to collect it later. I had no problems with security they seemed pleasant.
After security you will go downstairs to a large room to wait for elevator. My advice if you have a number under... read complete review

Hi. Finally the day comes. My interview was scheduled for 10AM yesterday. I arrived to Montreal at 7:30 am. After driving from Toronto for 6 hours or so. I didn't sleep for 2 days before that since I had to work to cover the day away for the interview.and. I finished work at 8pm then had to go home have a shower. Rent a car and hit the road at about 1.45 am.
I was in a bad shape when I got to Montreal but what kept me standing is the excitement of applying and seeing what a learned from visajourney.
To make the story short I parked for $17 around the corner. This rate is for all day or you pay $5 per half hour!!!!!
I think it's a habit in Montreal!!
However I went for a coffee at Tim horton near by and when it was 9.30 I headed to the consulate and my wife and daughter waited in the car since they weren't allowed in due to high number of people stuffed in the 19th floor.
Friendly security and staff at the door. A lady asked for the app letter and the ... read complete review

The interview was scheduled for 8:30am and we arrived in Montreal early that morning. We went to the consulate around 8am and were allowed in right away. The security guard asked to see my Interview letter and passport and guided me inside and told me where to go. Went inside the security the allowed me to take my binder with documents and gave me a ticket for my phone. I was guided to the basement and was told to sit in the middle and someone came to take us all to 19th floor. When inside i sat down and was called around 9am to window 2 where this man asked me for my documents:
Original Birth Cert
Original Marriage Cert
Passport Photos
AOS Documents were also taken on this window. The person who was asking for the documents was very rude. Asked me about my husbands tax papers from 2013 but we were not asked for it by NVC so i told him that we were told to just bring 2014 tax returns and he did not ask for anything else. He then took my fingerprints 2 times ... read complete review

Good experience other than having to line up outside on the sidewalk. It would have been very uncomfortable standing in the rain.
