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

My experience with my interview has been no different than many others. It was very simple, but very nerve wracking! I was the second in line, just behind a fellow Visa Journey forum user! I arrived around 6:40am and the whole thing was done at about 8:40am. It was very calming to meet and talk to the others in line.
They take your passport and confirmation letter right at the door, and you go through to security. Then down the stairs and wait for the elevator. Going up the elevator seemed like the longest and most awkward elevator ride of my life! Arrived at the 19th floor, got my ticket and received C3! They did call the numbers in order this time around. They nearly immediately called three of us up, and they asked for the birth certificate, police certificate and copies of my passport. In my case, there was some stickies on my previous submission with notes on them. I could read that it said, "why does recipient want permanent resident card mailed to a different add... read complete review

Journey
We started our journey in February 2012 for our CR-1 Visa. We met on Chemistry dot com a year ago this month. Eight months after starting this process and we are finally approved. Because this is a CR-1 we must have our interview performed in Montreal. We were given our Interview Date on September 17th and it was scheduled for October 9th. Before we could go to the interview we still needed to get the medical exam performed. We decided to go early to Montreal, get the exam, and make a honeymoon out of it. Montreal is an awesome place, but very expensive.
The Medical Exam
We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Centre-Ville. A very nice hotel and I give it a 5 star rating. It is located just one block east of the MediSys facility and about a 10 minute walk north of the Embassy. It has a Pool, Spa, and Gym which we used daily.
Out medical exam was scheduled for Oct 2nd.
Once you enter the MediSys building from the She... read complete review

Process was similar to what previous reviewers have written. My fiancé and I got there a few minutes after 7am and were third in line. We stayed at the Westin, which was less than a 10 minute walk over. We only had a folder of our documents, and wallet and hotel keys in our pockets. Multiple signs clearly state no cell phones or electronics of any kind, food, backpacks or large purses, or liquids. The woman after us had a small-ish purse, and she was fine, but another woman who came later had a medium-sized purse, and I noticed she showed up a half hour later with no purse.
When we were waiting outside was exactly the same time construction workers started tearing up the road for repaving, so there was asphalt being spewed into the air, and foul smelling dust, along with half a dozen trucks backing up and down the road. Be glad you won't have this experience!
Shortly after 7:30 security let us in, and we gave the attendant at the door our ... read complete review
