Overall this was a great experience with this consulate. We didn't have any issues what so ever. APPROVED!!!  Goodluck to all those with upcoming interviews.
--------
5 am- alarm came WAY too soon. I was a zombie when I got up getting ready but that part of the morning I don't entirely remember. Luckily I organized our documentation prior to going to sleep so brain function wasn't entirely needed.
*The consulate building doesn't allow electronics, big bags or brief cases. So my husband and I were armed with our organizational folder and my chest x rays and we left our cell phones in our room. (Bring a watch as we didn't have a way of telling time without our cells (outside at least).)There was no point in complicating things just take what we 'needed' to ensure we wouldn't be turned away to take unnecessary items back to our hotel room.
6:20- We got on the subway around 6:20 and arrived at our st... read complete review

I can't believe this process is finally over!
We (hubs and I) got there at 7:15am - for my 8:30 interview - and there were about 8 people ahead of us in line. When the doors opened at 7:30am, the security guard made all the people ahead of us with backpacks and larger bags leave the line and get rid of their bags! Thank god I had read VisaJourney and I knew to bring my documents in a grocery bag with no extraneous things! The security guards weren't mean but they were firm and actually, a bit nicer than airport security is. (and WAY nicer than US border patrol guards are!)
When you get in and go through security, you are told to go downstairs by the elevator to wait. We didn't get letter cards like most other people who have posted reviews of Montreal! But when the elevator guy came down, he asked all the people with x-rays to come upstairs with him. I didn't realize we even needed to bring our x-rays, but I was glad I did. Even though there were ab... read complete review

This is for ANYONE AND EVERYONE going to their interview at the Montreal Consulate. Please learn from my experience. This may be long but will be helpful!
My interview was today -February 18th at 8:30pm. I got to the consulate office around 7:00 am because I wanted to beat the line...which I didn't. There were about 10 people already there lined up, which isn't a big deal. Because I live in Montreal already, it was easy for me to just hop in my car and get there. But I suggest for everyone to arrive at LEAST an hour in advance.
From there, you are let in one by one. You must show the guard your appointment letter with you passport. Once let in, you go through a pat down like if you were in an airport. No cellphones, big bags, electronics allowed etc allowed. You are then to go downstairs to wait to be called up by letter (first come first serve basis). You are then escorted to the main area for your interview by elevator with a security g... read complete review

We stayed at Hotel Le Dauphin on Bleury and it was awesome. About 5 mins walk but it took me a bit because it was very cold and slippery. I reached the embassy around 7 am and boy it was freezing!! Waited about 45 mins and the guards opened the doors and started taking our appointment letters along with our passport. I got the letter B card and gone through the security like the airport. I made sure to bring a shopping bag to carry my documents and small purse and also made sure I didn\'t bring any liquid or a belt just to avoid the hassle. After we were told to go to the basement and wait for the guard to take us to the 19th floor. Therer was about 5 of us that went upstairs. Mind you my appointment was for 10 am but I went early just like what other VJ members told me to do. 7:45 we went up to the 19th floor and then waited for our letter/ name to be called. I was called about 3 times. The first time was regarding finger prints, second was confirmation where in the US I will be stayi... read complete review

Interview was okay - spoke to 3 staff, the first one who tooked the passport picture & the forms filled online; second one checked my infos and told me that i needed to submit police clearance from back home (he wasnt that helpful); the third one, interviewed me s/a where we met, where he worked etc. then she told me that i needed the police clearance and told me how to get it. Thats all what is needed and they will send the visa. I have sent it 2 weeks ago so still waiting.
