My interview was scheduled for May 24, 2012 and medical was May 23, 2012. I could have interviewed weeks earlier, but a pending trip to visit my fiance pushed me to postpone this until after that trip.
Woking medical. After a small panic about some vaccinations and emails, I was assured I had everything needed and off I went. My son and I arrived in Vancouver Tuesday May 22 and stayed at Terminal City Club. Not the cheapest place to stay, but it was an awesome room 1/2 block from Canada place with a pool and everything we needed. A bit of a walk to Woking ( we booked a cab for 5:30am ). Wed am, take a cab to Woking. We were first to arrive and realized we got there maybe a bit too early. We walked across the street to Esso for some Tims donuts and coffee and walked back and were still first. Around 5:50 a couple other people showed up. Started talking to one gentleman who was nice and he asked a couple questions and I mentioned VJ and he hadn't heard of it but wish he h... read complete review

My review pretty much mirrors everyone else who interviews in Montreal and passes the interview. No fuss, no muss, and make sure you get to the consulate early.
However, my experience is different in that I expedited through NVC. When we arrived, we were the second couple off the elevator (and got C2), but for us this made no difference. We waited almost half an hour for document intake, and they had already called up to C8 before we got to go up the first time. When we finally got called up to window 2, there was nothing in our file - the document intake officer didn't realize that with an expedite, she had to print off our file as everything was sent electronically. We were then sent to sit back down for another 20 minutes (at least), at which point C2 was called to one of the interview windows in error. The interviewing officer asked us why we hadn't even had our documents reviewed yet and we explained they were printing off some of our file as we'd been expedit... read complete review

I arrived at consulate at 4.45am.I wanted to be first as I knew on May 22, 2012 there were 3 other VJ member’s interview as well. So as being a VJ I knew VJ members will arrive early. Anyway, we were sitting in the car right beside the consulate gate so I don’t have stand there so long and it was also raining outside. There was a parking right beside the consulate $18 maximum stay. At 6.09am I saw 1 lady with a binder and a girl was walking to the consulate and I jumped off the car right away and stand beside the consulate door. The lady stand behind me and told me your hubby is very intelligent for parking his car here so you didn’t have to stand up while no one was here. Hubby went to the parking lot to park the car. Then I saw Shell is walking with her hubby towards the consulate. Then I saw Jordan came to the consulate by taxi. It was only 6.15am and already 4 group of VJ member were already in line. We were all standing there and chatting about VJ and other stuff.

The actual interview process took less than 20 minutes. It was very pleasent and easy going. The sercurity was intense, no cells or bags in the consulate at all!
The only problem was the 3 hour wait in the wind and cold outside of the consulate in Vancouver at the end of November!

I arrived at the Consulate a little later than I had wanted to - around 6:50AM. There were a few people there already, maybe 5 groups. Get there early! I spotted a woman with a huge purse and a man with a laptop bag ahead in the line. "They'll get turned away and I'll move up in the queue!" I thought to myself, and which was correct.
Security showed up at 7:30AM to let us in. The two people I had spotted were baffled by being turned away - oopsie daisy! The guard let the first few of us in after checking our interview letters then closed the door. Have ready: passport, DHL/Loomis confirmation and interview letter. A man inside the door checks your Loomis document, and attaches a sticker with your booking reference number to the back of your passport. You then wait to be called up through security. Remove your belt, jacket, everything in your pockets, etc. Typical baggage x-ray and walk through metal detector procedure after - same deal as TSA without the groping. Once c... read complete review
