Overall, an excellent experience. We arrived before 9 for a 10 o'clock appointment. The line up was not too long and was being well managed by the very courteous staff. I will just add here what others didn't observe in their reports as my experience was very similar in most respects.
First, whoever got into the building with their electronics and had the security staff keep them experienced a very lucky day! We elected to arrive without our devices. Nonetheless, we were instructed to remove EVERYTHING from our pockets. Only a Canadian in the winter can really appreciate what this means. We saw one family group come outside twice to sort through their tray of stuff and re-enter. It was a real WTF? moment till we got to the head of the line. After your pockets are emptied, they go over your outer garments... coats and sweaters very thoroughly. They found a book of matches in one of my sweater pockets which I told them they could have, but I was directed to a trash can in ... read complete review

Super easy. The hardest part was waiting. The officers were nice. We waited outside until being let inside to go through a little security section. Led up the stairs and into the elevator, up to the 20th floor. Went to Window B, turned on the light and a nice lady came and took my forms and documents and such. Sat down for maybe 5 minutes, was called up again to Window 6 and the guy there was also really friendly. Asked us a few questions, about my plans once I'm in the States, our wedding plans, how we met and all that. And then we talked about games because Daniel and I met online, Final Fantasy XI, haha. And that was about it. We went back to Window B, the lady before told us we were approved and what do to and that was about it! We worried needlessly. They didn't need to see any of our evidence or even our photographs, nothing. Done. Overall a pleasant, reassuring even if a bit of a anti-climactic experience!

My overall experience at the Montreal Consulate was great!
My appointment was 11:AM I but I decided to show up at 7:45 AM at the Consulate building. Door opened at 8:00, passed through security with all my electronic devices, Ipad, Iphone, headsets, usb sticks, car keys, etc.. left for safekeeping with the security office and later claimed on my exit.
8:30 AM - I was no.2 in line for the interview even my appointment is 3 hours away, my number was called to a window for finger printing processing. The lady at the window was nice and accommodating. I was asked to take a seat and wait for my number to be called again. I then realized, it was a first come first serve basis. I was glad to arrive at the consulate 3 hours early.
9:00 AM- My number was called for actual interview. I was impressed on how professional the interview was conducted. Questions asked were based purely on the information provided on the application form. The consul was p... read complete review

Had my interview at 8am today in Montreal, now back in my hotel at the Square Phillips (highly recommended - SO close to the consulate).
I arrived at about 6:55 am this morning and waited at the left side of the door. It was so dark out, and I kind of hoped that someone else would show up! No one else showed up till probably 7:15 or so, and the guard let us in promptly at 7:30. I was first in line, and complimented by the security guard for being prepared - I carried ONLY my accordion folder and key card to my hotel.
As other reviews have stated, I went to the back left of the elevator and headed left when I got out to window 14b. I was first to get my number (C1), yet the fifth person to be called. Gave my appointment letter, and then eventually fingerprints, photocopy of my birth cert and police clearance, and finally I-134 and evidence of support.
These were the ONLY documents they ever asked me for. I guess I got off easy.

My interview was scheduled for 11 am on Friday, December 9th in Montreal. I was able to get an appointment at Dr. Seiden's on Tuesday, December 6th using the phone number provided on this site.
Dr. Seiden's
I got there 30 minutes early (10:30 am) and waited for 2 hours before I even got to see the doctor. Once that was done, it went quite quickly. Blood tests and then xray.
The parking lot takes credit card payment and is very easily accessible. You can see it on google street view if you want to see what the area looks like beforehad.
I was able to go in and out in about 10 minutes to get my results on Thursday, December 8th after 2:30 pm. All in all a very positive experience. Just be prepared to wait.
Consulate
I arrived at the Consulate at 7 am and was 4th in line. I parked at the Complexe Desjardins (expensive but I'd say safe which is good since you should leave everything in your car and not bring it to the Consulate).
