it was great to read other reviews to see how things might go down....but surprise, surprise it was somewhat different. We got to the embassy (my Canadian wife) around 7:30 and the line was long...already maybe 15 others in line. We waited to get in - no problem - they let only a few at a time in the building - then metal detector, etc. then they told us to go down the stairs and catch the elevator up to the visa floor. We did all that then got into a line to get a number. We got C14. Next we waited, and waited, and waited...finally a girl called out our number and we went to the booth - gave her a bunch of original doc.'s like birth, death, police certs, etc. Then we sat back down and waited and waited and waited. I brought a book - you can't have any electronics, even a simple car door key fob. Seems silly, but you just go along and avoid issues.
After about the 3:30 hour mark of our visit we were called to the Dreadlock girls booth. She was real nice and ple... read complete review

We arrived really, really early.. 9:20 - Our appointment was at 10 am, and the confirmation even says not to come more than 20 minutes early, but we did, and it was DEAD, so the agent looked through our bags and let us go in early, giving us a 9:30 appointment.
We were the only K applicants there, and the security guards and interviewers were all very friendly. Having my fiance there was key, apparently. Not only would they have probably made me wait until 10 without him, but he was allowed to come right in with me. Once I was called up to the window, they let him come with me, and he just sat right behind me while I was interviewed. I was nervous, and I stuttered a little at first, but the agent didn't even bother trying to trick me with oddly phrased questions, or bother digging into the nature of our relationship. Bringing a fiance with you to a K interview is pretty much a guaranteed yes, and he only asked what he was legally required to. I think I was asked maybe te... read complete review

My husband and I had some difficulty locating the consulate at first. The door is on the a side street and quite inconspicuous. We finally arrived at 7:15am with only one woman waiting ahead of us. At 7:30, a guard unlocked the door. The woman ahead of us was denied entry because she had a large bag of documents. Advice: Don't bring a bag, hand carry everything! Passing through security, we hung a left and went down the stairs into a waiting room. As we waited, people slowly started to pour in.
At 8:00, myself and the woman who had been ahead of me (who had ditched her bag somewhere) were led into an elevator. We were welcomed by the receptionist and asked to get in line to pick our number. I got my number (C2) and sat down in the middle of the room (the immigrant visa section). To the left of me many people were being seated (the work visa section). There was only myself and the woman ahead of me for the Spousal Visa. At 8:15 the lady ahead of me was called. After she ... read complete review

Well, it's done and approved!!! 
Today I had my CR1 interview in Montreal.
I showed up at the consulate at around 7:10 and there were already about 5 ppl in front of me. At 7:30 they opened the doors to start security (note: bring as little as possible, no fluids, phones etc), after security, we were sent downstairs into a waiting room. There is a photo booth in case you forgot to bring yours (also, they ask for a 2x2 picture, but a standard size passport picture is fine also). After about 15min of waiting in that room with about 30 others, a security guard came and asked for people applying for immigration visas to follow him into the elevator. The elevator went upstairs to a main room. Once there, we were asked to stand in a line and they would give us a number, and we would sit down in the middle of the room and wait for our number to be called. The first time I was called (10 min from sitting down), it was for finger prints and giving them my pictur... read complete review
