Our interview on Sept 24/12 was for my CR1 and my son's CR2 visa. I'm glad we looked for the consulate the day before, because it was difficult to find. The sign outside was tiny and Rue St. Alexandre is not a main road and many locals didn't even know where it was when I asked them for directions.
My husband stood in line at 6:30am (he was the 4th in line) and my son and I joined him just before 7:30am when they opened the doors. The guard let in one person at a time. All we had was our cell phones, wallets and our documents.
At the desk just inside the front doors, they checked our Loomis confirmation # and put a sticker on the back of our passports then sent us up the stairs to security. Security was much like what you go through at the airport. They were strict on not bringing in food and drinks, but let us bring cell phones in. They kept the cell phones at the front desk and gave us a tag to pick them up afterwards. We were allowed to bring our stroll... read complete review

We arrived outside the Consulate about half an hour before opening and we were amongst some of the first in. They opened the doors promptly at their posted opening hours (so if it's raining/cold/hot, dress appropriately for waiting outside!). Once inside we went through the security area, metal detectors, and had to leave our cell phones with security (received a little "claim check" type tag to claim them on our way out).
We took the elevator up and waited in line for our initial number. At the first window they looked over our documents just to make sure that we had brought what we needed. We sat down to wait... and wait.... It's been a couple of years since my interview, so I don't remember the details of what/if anything happened between then and the actual interview (other than the fire alarm going off and us all being ushered down 19 flights of stairs!).
The interview itself was quick and painless. My husband came in with me and she just asked us a few questions l... read complete review

Well first off, what a relief that it's over, and we were APPROVED! We drove to Montreal from Michigan on Sunday and stayed at the Le Square Phillip Hotel right around the block from the embassy. We walked to it Sunday evening so we would know exactly where we were going. Stopped at Timmy's on the way there in the morning for a coffee and got to the building at 6:20. We were first in line. We only brought our folder with our documents and my husband had his wallet. The next person got there at 6:30 and not long after, another couple. By 7:00 a line was forming. We got let in first at 7:30 to go through security. They put a sticker on the back of my husbands passport and checked mine and checked our DHL confirmation letter. Then they sent us downstairs. We sat on the left side of the elevator, as close as we could. The others joined us quickly. Their were four VJ groups and it was fun to talk about how much we all got our of this web site and huge praise to Saylin for all o... read complete review

We arrived at the Consulte at 630am and we were the 2nd people in line. At about 7 o'clock is when we were joined by another, and it seemed to be a steady stream up to the time the doors opened. Please note that even though the time on the door says 8 o'clock, they open their doors at 730am and allow people to come in and wait until the consulte elevator opens at 8 o'clock. We originally lined up on the right side, but once the officer started unlocking the door he instructed us to line up on the left.
The allow one person in at a time, ask for your interview letter and put a sticker on your passport. From there you go through security. NOTE: Do not bring any large bags or purses. We both had our wallets and passports + our K-1 stuff. Nothing else. Leave everything you can at your hotel, there were many people that were turned away because of this.
Once through security, you walk down some stairs to the elevator. Sit as close as you can to the door and once... read complete review

MEDICAL (Medisys, 500 Sherbrooke West, Montreal):
I had my appointment on September 13th 2012 at 9am. When I first got there the receptionnist asked me for my interview letter, passport, shots record and 3 passport sized pictures (I brought US size pictures as I wasn't sure and it seems like it was alright). Then I sat down for about 30min and I was called to Dr. Alain Dubois' office. He looked in my ears, inside my mouth, knee reflex, he pressed on my abdomen, osculted my heart and lungs, took my blood pressure. He asked me if I ever was in a big accident which I had never been. Then I was sent back to the waiting room. I waited for about 15min and was called again this time for the X-Ray. I was then sent back to the waiting room again  After waiting 20 more minutes, I was called by a nurse who had me read something on the wall, took my weight and height, got a blood draw and verified if I needed any more shots. And I did... my dTap (Tetanus, Dyphteria, Pertu... read complete review
