It was a cold rainy morning, but we hoofed it the 10 minute walk to the Consulate. I did not sleep well the night before, my stomach was in knots and I felt like I was going to throw up all night, and that morning.
We made it about a quarter to six and waited... Two more Visa Journey members showed up shortly after we did. I didn't get their names but they were both there for K-1 interviews. It would be really nice if they put benches out there!!
We all huddled by the door to stay out of the rain. More showed up about seven and lots had bags, cell phones etc that we knew they couldn't get in with. They finally let us in at 7:30 and we were first! The little guy at the door asking for our appointment letter and courier confirmation. At first we couldn't understand what he was asking for, it sounded like he was saying Career, not Courier. But we got it figured out.
We got through security and the two other ladies sat by the elevator with u... read complete review

We have been waiting a long time for this day and it has finally come!
The entire interview process was exactly as everyone described. I got there around 6:30 and met Camille & Trent and Laurie (Anthony & Laurie) that were waiting by the doors. It was raining and cold and it felt like forever until they opened the doors.
I cant say what time that was because I had no way to checking the time (No cell phone no watch) This is a big deal, do not bring anything except your documents because there were many non-VJers there that were turned away because of large purses, briefcases and electronics.
Once we got through security (similar to the airport security but faster). It was pretty easy. They told us to go down the stairs and wait near the elevator. Definitely sit as close as possible to the elevator and try to keep the same line up as when you were waiting outside (it is only fair)
I got a ticket C3 and then the strange thing is... read complete review

Followed Visa Journey instructions and had a positive experience. Stayed at Phillip Square, nice but expensive, around the corner from the consulate. The restaurant attached to the hotel was less than wonderful and would not go back for a second meal.
Arrived at Medisys on Monday and they had documents ready by Wednesday afternoon when I came back to pick them up. Thursday at 7 am, I was first in line at the consulate and met another wonderful and interesting member from Visajourney.com. The line was short that day so we were processed without much wait and hassle at all. Everyone in the embassy was open and friendly. With documents in order and a short interview, I was out the door within an hour and then back on the train for home.
We spent 5 days in Montreal because of the Medical and wait for medical documents and then the Visa interview itself. Our hotel was over $200 a night but near the end of our stay we found other hotels, including the Maritimer fo... read complete review

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
