We had our visa interview this past Friday and thought I'd write you some information about what to expect especially since there are not as many people going through the Vancouver Consulate.
For our interview at 10am, google maps suggested it was an hour drive from my place. From past experience I knew rush hour traffic would be terrible, so we thought to get there by 9:30 we should leave at 8am. In fact it took us an hour and 50 minutes to get to the consulate. It was indeed terrible traffic, so thankfully we had left extra early. We found parking easily enough (not cheap, but it was right across the road so very convenient), and walked over to the lineup at the front.
In the lineup the guards asked what we were there for and we said K1 visa. They took the paperwork and phoned upstairs (I guess to verify our appointment). They went through all our belongings very thoroughly (he even tried to take apart my comb to make sure nothing was inside the handle o... read complete review

Here is our experience for the Vancouver Consulate.
Appt. was October 22,time was the normal 10.00 am. We arrived there around 9.40. We had stayed the night at the Days Inn which is located just on the next block 921 W. Pender 117.00/ night plus 20.00 for parking. A little steep we thought but paid for the convenience. I had just had knee surgery on the Thursday so was hobbling along on crutches.When we arrived the line was to the first set or stairs. The fellow came over and asked us what we were there for and said K1. He then said "let me see if we can find you a wheel chair" Not available, but he brought us passed everyone and got us through right away. We thought that was awesome. Only problem,, 16 steps to go up to security. Then had to do a pat down and have my crutches checked over. Once we did that we walk back through the scanner and up we went to floor 20. Go to the left to window "B" Lady came over after we flicked the switch. She gave us a lust of the documents neede... read complete review

We found parking for $11 a day that opened at 6am a few blocks away from the consulate so we decided to use it to be on the safe side. We were at the consulate by 6:15am. There's a Tim Hortons nearby if you need to warm up or grab some breakfast.
Once we got in, we went through the security screening proceedures and we made sure we didn't bring anything other than the absolute necessary. I had left my purse in the car and we only brought the non-electronic car key and the documents. My fiancé forgot he had headphones in his coat pocket, which the guards took from him but he was able to recover them after the interview.
We then went on to the waiting area and took the elevator to the 19th floor with everyone else. We were the first ones in line but let the lady behind us get the C1 ticket so we received C2. They call specific numbers by windows which means that window 1 only calls C1, C5, C9 etc and the same idea goes for the other 3 windows. As it was, ... read complete review

I arrived at the Montreal Consulate at about 7:05am, there was one person ahead of me who said he had been there since 5:30am. More people started to show up shortly after, and there were at least a dozen people in line by the time they opened the door. I had an accordion folder with all my paperwork and just my car key (no other keys). They checked my courier letter and passport and sent me on to the scanner, where I had to take off my jacket, empty my pockets, and walk through. The man at the scanner was very nice and warm and welcoming. He took my car key and gave me a little claim ticket for it. I went downstairs and sat right by the elevator with the man who was ahead of me in line. After most of the first group of people were downstairs, they opened the elevator and I went in, moving to the back of the elevator since I knew it opened at the back. It seems quite a lot of people didn't know that though, and stayed to the front of it. It's a sharp left after getting off the elevator... read complete review
