All in all, experience was very good. Get there early and you will get out in time for a celebratory breakfast! I was inside the consulate for about an hour.
My appointment was set for 10 am but I arrived really early (6:30am) due to the recommendation of fellow VJers. I got there way too early and was the only one there for an hour. Then a couple showed up at 7:30am and we waited until they opened the doors. Others have stated there was a line up when they got there early, so it will depend on many factors. Get there early to be safe, so you don't spend the entire day waiting. It's first-come, first-served - you get a ticket and wait. So get there early if you want to get out early.
VJ advice states to have your appointment letter ready - TRUE. It's the first thing they ask for. Have your passport ready too.
It's true - no cameras or large bags including back packs. A man had a carry on piece of luggage and was immediately accosted by a ... read complete review

Wow- approved! I just came from the interview and I thought I'd update it immediately before I get wrapped up in moving.
So... arrived at the consulate at 6:45am and there were 3 groups ahead of me. Met another VisaJourney young woman that arrived just after I did. Waited until 7:30am and then they let us in. Make sure you have your print out with your Loomis Reference ID number on it. This was the first thing they asked for. I also had my Interview letter out as well as my passport which the lady looked at. Several people in the line were told to leave with their bags and extra belongings. If you can manage it, I would recommend only having your document folder and put your ID/credit card or whatever necessities in your pocket. Don't bring a purse/cellphone/keys etc but if you have to then they can keep your cellphone/keys downstairs in security but it is just another snag. Then we went downstairs and eventually in the elevator up to the 19th floor. Myself and two othe... read complete review

Medical Exam:
I booked my medical for 8:45 AM on Tuesday, September 4th, 2012. I arrived around 8:30 after finding the correct medical clinic among the dozens located in the two adjacent parking lots on the corner; it has Dr. Cheema’s name on the outside and is in the first parking lot on the corner. I gave them my paperwork after waiting in the lobby for a while and then had to wait a while longer until the doctor called me in. It was probably between 9:15 and 9:30 when I was called in.
The exam was quick and super easy. He checked my weight and height, had me read a quick line from an eye chart, glanced in my mouth and ears, checked my pulse and blood pressure, listened to my heart and lungs, asked me a series of questions to which all my answers were “no”. Finally he had me put on a paper gown and had one of the receptionists come in with him since I’m female, and checked the lymph nodes, checked my skin and made sure I’m female.

We arrived at the consulate at 6:30 and we were second in line.Right behind us were another Visajourney couple and we spent the waiting time talking about the immigration process and Visajourney. The doors were opened at 7:30 exactly and the first woman in line was turned away because her handbag was too large.We saw her a short time later because she left her bag at the Tim Hortons coffee shop a block away. I believe they will hold your bag for a fee!
We passed through security without a problem and did the elevator thing exactly as described here on Visajourney. Coming off the elevator we received number C2 and were told to sit down.We were called to the documents window in less than 5 minutes and we had all the documents required thanks to the preparation tips we received on this site. We were then instructed to sit back down and wait again till our number was called.
The wait was about 15 minutes and we were called to the interview window.The young bla... read complete review

My interview was this morning at 10am. Arrived at the Consulate at 935am. There was no line outside. My Fiance attended with me, we checked in with security then went upstairs and all the paperwork was checked, as we were in security and so was my medical. Then we were sent to the 20th floor. Went to window B and then handed over all of P3 documentation and we were given a number! We waited just under an hour (upstairs just before 10 and interview around 1045am.) It was very busy in the waiting room, lots of people! Grab a seat while you can and bring a book.
We were called to a window and my fingerprints were taken, oath and then I was asked questions about my Fiance and how we met etc. Then he said I was approved and we met a man at window B and I was told I would be emailed about picking up my passport! We left right just after 11am.  All in all good experience, everyone was very helpful at the Consulate. Thanks to VJ and previous reviews, I knew wh... read complete review
