It was a chilly winter morning of January in Montreal...the feels-like temperature was -25 Degree Celsius. Me and my husband reached at the consulate at 7:40 am and we were 7th in the line. The security person allowed the first person in the line at 8 o' clock. My interview was at 8:30am. The harsh chilly wind made it very difficult for all of us to stand outside in the line.
Finally, at 8:15 I and my hubby were allowed inside. I was carrying my purse and an opend tote bag but they allowed me to take just tote and I had to transfer all my files from my purse to the tote.
The first thing I was asked was the DHL Sign up sheet, my interview appointment letter and the passport. They were not letting people go in without the DHL sheet.
Then the security check was done and I was given a token for the locker, where they kept our car keys and phones.
As other reviews have stated- I took the elevator and then went to a window in the l... read complete review

Arrived at the Consulate at 9:20, in the building by 9:45, through security and up to the 20th floor for processing. Staff was courteous and helpful, and everything went off smoothly. Very nice interviewer, who asked the standard questions: How did you meet, Who's the better golfer, Where will you live, etc.
It was all over pretty quickly. We were approved and out of the building by 10:45.
All that worry, and it was totally fine. Phew.

So, we had our interview at the montreal embassy. My fiance went alone,for I could not be there with him. So, here's his story.
Rick arrived at embassy at 7am. He was first in line. He parked at medisys and it was only a 7 minute walk to embassy. He stood on the left side of the door and the security guard opened doors promptly at 7:30am.
After walking in the door, a woman meets you and checks you off both of her checklists. She asks for appointment confirmation printout and passport. She put a sticker on the back of the passport. He then went threw security where he had to empty his pockets, take off coat and put everything into a bucket and go through metal detector.
He walked threw metal detector and it went off. He had on steel toe'd winter boots. So he was wanded and then sent through.
They kept his car keys and cell phone for him to pick up after interview.
Rick waited right beside the elevator, and then the guard came promptly at 8am a... read complete review

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
