Hi guys,
I will try to write down my experience at the Consulate of Montreal, May 7th.
we were schedule or 8am. My fiance flew from the states on Sunday morning and arrived in Montreal in the afternoon. I took the via Rail train from Toronto and arrived in Montreal Sun afternoon as well. I got at the hotel one hour before my fiance, so I was able to do the check-in and get settled. We stayed at Hilton Bonaventure, just in front of the Central Station and 8 min walking to the Consulate (Our one night stay at this hotel, was a friend\'s gift for us  ).
Anyway, we went out for dinner and before we walked to the Consulate just make sure we would know where we would go on Monday morning.
So, i didnt sleep at all the night before, my fiance slept like an angel, guys don\'t worry like girls, right? ahahah.
Monday 6h40 we arrived at the Consulate and there were 3 people in front of us. We didn\'t chat with them all the time, jus... read complete review

Montreal was good, overall. So much easier than I anticipated. As long as you have all the documentation on the checklist, you will be just fine. ...and if your kids are anything like mine, take change for the vending machines to keep them happy.
1 word of warning -- Google maps lies. I booked a room at the Holiday Inn Midtown, which Google said was about a 10 minute walk from the consulate and 15 minute walk from the train station. Maybe if one was an Olympic level race walker, but not otherwise. We ended up taking cabs everywhere. Holiday Inn was on the expensive side, but had an indoor pool, which the kids loved! Spending the afternoon in the pool totally made up for me getting them up and out the door at the crack of dawn for the interview. The consulate was a $5 cab ride from Holiday Inn, and the train station was a $10 cab ride.
The reviews for Montreal are spot on. I don't have too much to add to what has alre... read complete review

I arrived at the consulate super early (5:45 am) as I could not sleep and my hotel was super close. I scoped out the location the day before and thanks to Saylin's postings with pictures was able to know exactly where the entrance of the consulate was. The hotel that I stayed at was the Le Phillips Square..excellent hotel and extremely close to the consulate. I took my cellphone with me but then ran back to the hotel to drop it off at the front desk.
I was the first person in line and people started showing up at about 6:45 am and there were quite a few VJers there. They opened the doors at 7:30 and let us in. We went through security and then were instructed to go downstairs to the elevator to wait. As a few of us were from VJ, we sat close together by the elevator and chatted and exchanged stories with each other, how we met our significant others, etc...very relaxing experience. Security eventually came down and instructed us to get on the elevator. I sat very close ... read complete review

Overall I had a great experience. I followed the instructions and didnt show up till 20 minutes prior to my appointment. i dont think that even mattered as \i ended up in the lineup till after my 10 am appointment. One girl even showed up at 1030 for her 930 am appointment and was sent to the back of the line. So I'm not really sure how that system works. Ladies, wear comfy shoes. I made the mistake of wearing heels and I would definitely do that differently. Also definitely make sure you have a purse that isnt on the big size... thankfully mine managed to get into the box they have to measure it. . Don't make the same mistake I did when I got there and forgot to remove my makeup- even pressed makeup isn't allowed there. So you either have to have someone come and hold it for you, find a store to hold it or throw it out... I didn't feel like wasting time finding a place so I just threw it out. \sigh\ lol
Once through the security, they take you to an elevator an... read complete review
