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

I arrived at the Consulate at 7:00 a.m. and was fourth in line outside. At 7:30 a guard came and opened the doors. He told the couple who were second in line that their bags were too big and that they'd have to bring them back to their hotel. I really felt bad for them as the guard wasn't sympathetic at all. He checked my letter and passport and let me inside. Another person inside checked my letter, passport and asked to see proof that I registered for Loomis courier service. I showed him proof of registration and he crossed my name off his list and attached a label to my passport. I then went through security (just as you would do at the airport). I was then directed to walk downstairs to a waiting room. I sat close to the elevator. At 8 a.m. a guard came down and opened the elevator doors. I went straight to the back of the elevator and when the door opened on the 19th floor I was the 3rd one out and thus got ticket # C3. Approximately 5 minutes later I was called to Win... read complete review

My husband picked me up from the Buffalo airport early on August 1st. We drove through New York and up into Ontario, and finally Quebec. Our timing was really good and we arrived in Montreal at the Marriott Hotel Champlain around 4:30 in the afternoon. That hotel is a bit more pricey, but we were splurging a little, and it was pretty close to the Consulate. He and I took a short rest from our trip and then went out to eat at St. Hubert's before walking all around Montreal. That night I prepped him on everything I knew about the process and showed him all the documents I had put together all neatly in expanding files. I had one huge evidence expanding file and another smaller file with the documents we had filed or obtained throughout the immigration process starting with a copy of our I-130 at the USCIS. Because of VJ, I was well prepared to go to the Consulate.
The next morning, on August 2nd, hubby and I woke early and left the hotel around 6:35 AM. We walked the 15 m... read complete review
