Our case is slightly different than most on the Canadian forum. I am the petitioner but my fiancee is a filipino that has been working in Canada for over 3 years. Due to this I believe our interviewer was a little more skeptical of us than what he would have been toward a Canadian citizen. More on this later...

We stayed at the L'apartmente Hotel and it was right across the street from the Medisys and only a 15 minute walk from the consulant. We left the hotel the morning of the interview and got to the consulant by 6:35am. It was a cold morning and the wind was blowing pretty hard down the street. We were the first in line and no one else showed up until 7:15am. At 7:30am the guard opened the door and let us in first. There was a lady off to the left that checked Dodelyn's appointment letter and compared it to her list. We were not on her list. She stepped out a moment and came back and said she cannot let us in until she checks with "somebody upstairs" to verify we we... read complete review

Well, I figured it's best I write a review since these were so helpful to me.

My interview was on Nov. 29, 2011 at 8am. I arrived at the consulate at 7:15am to find at least 4-5 people before me in the line. Make sure you check the weather before you go for the interview, I unfortunately got caught in the rain. Thankfully I was only waiting 15 minutes so I didn't get too wet.

We got let in at 7:30 one by one. Have your appointment confirmation letter, DS160 confirmation page with bar code, and passport out. Security is fairly fast and simple. You cannot bring a cell phone into the consulate with you, but I had brought mine because I needed to call my ride afterwards, I had no other option. So what they do if you do bring a cell phone is they ask you to shut it off, and keep it at security for you. You get a ticket which you can hand in when you leave to get your phone back.

They asked me to go down the stairs and wait at the elevator. Eventu... read complete review

Well, I am not sure what I have to add to the accurate and comprehensive review of Vancouver by Piefre (dated October 6, 2011). A+, Piefre, and thanks for your efforts.

Me: USC
Him: Canadian PR/Egyptian citizen

ON SCHEDULING:
1. We were coming in from Edmonton, so we elected to complete the medical exam two days prior to the interview. This way we could go to the consulate with all documents in hand. That was a low-stress way to do it, and I would recommend it.

2. It was difficult to find reasonable lodging in Vancouver. Hint: AirBNB.com ... We rented a basement suite from Lamar Mali for a week for $300, less than half of what we could find for hotels in the area. Great location, nice quiet neighborhood, ~20 min drive from the consulate/Woking, and an excellent (and helpful) property manager. Tell him that Michael and Amy sent ya.

The interview was on Wednesday Nov. 23rd at 8 AM. (Yesterday)

I had my medical on Nov. 18th (Friday) at;


Dr. Howard Seiden & Associates
Sanagex Medicine du Travail
5345 Blvd L’Assomption # 115
Montreal, QC H1T 4B3

Total Cost $260 CDN

I went back to pick up my results the following Tuesday around 2:30 PM (which I was instructed to do.)

My Fiance (Petitioner) and I stayed at Le Square Phillipe Hotel, which was recommended on this site. It was the best place to stay over night. The rate was reasonable, they provided a complementary breakfast, and it included parking for an extra 22 bucks. The best thing about this hotel was that it is literally one block away from the US Embassy.

The morning of the interview it started snowing ( ) but it was not such big deal since we had such a short walk to the Embassy. We had a breakfast and headed out at 7:35 AM. The funny thing i... read complete review
