Got to the Consulate around 6. wanted the A...LOL We were there about 10 minute before anyone else showed up. Was cold by 7:30 I couldn\'t feel my toes. Guard opened the doors at about 7:35, wanted passports and interview letters, checked them and told us to go in. Told to empty our pockets into a tray then given another for our coats. Once everything was cleared to take back we did so. Got our letter A. Told to got downstairs to waiting room, sat there for maybe 5 minutes. Taken upstairs in the elevator told to wait to be called up to the counter about 8. Once there we were asked for original documents and copies( we did EP). Asked to sit down for a few minutes until the woman came back for my finger prints. After finger prints done we were asked to have a seat in the waiting room and wait to be called into room 7 or 8.
Waited until 9:30 or so to be called into room 7. The room is quite small and we were 4, but we all fit. After putting our coats and stuff do... read complete review

We got to the Consulate around 6:45 AM and were second in line (I think FIFO was there first) and we all huddled under the doorstep to keep out of the snow. People started arriving around 7pm started lining up on both sides of the door. When the guards opened up at about 7:30, everyone had to move to left hand side of the door (as you look at it). The guards were very friendly, but only allowing a couple of people to go through the door at a time. As we went in, we had to show invitation letter and passport. Once inside the security area, they check our names against a list and gave us a letter, first couple got a A, we got a B. (you have to put your stuff through the x-ray and you walk through a metal detector).
We went down to a small waiting room, with a photo-booth incase you’ve forgotten your pictures (only 4$ for four) and waited for another security guard to come. After about 5 minutes, the room had filled up, and people with letter A, B, C, D, E were in... read complete review

I hope people find this review useful, especially the ones doing Electronic Processing since its still new thing in Montreal!
Wait outside the Consulate: We got to the Consulate around 7 AM and didnt expect to be the first in line! There were 3 people already in line and soon after the line started to grow long pretty quickly. The light inside the consulate turned ON around 7:20 am which gave us some hope that soon the doors will open! It wasnt good weather to be waiting outside but anyways around 7:30 am the guard opened the door and asked everyone to move to the left side to line up. We already knew which side the line forms so we were on the right side (left) to begin with!! The guard looked at the interview letter and let us in.
Security: When inside, you have to go through security and again they confirm to make sure your name is on the list of people to be interviewed that day. The security guy had me scared for a bit because he couldnt find my name ... read complete review

We were first in line at about 6:30, before another VJ'er. They let us in some time between 7:30 and 7:45, and the wait felt surprisingly short. Given the time we invested waiting for this interview, I'm not sorry at all to have arrived this early (even when we were still on west coast time!)
The security process is the same as other reviews describe, and the view is amazing once they take you upstairs on the elevator. Since we were first we were called first to the window where they check your documents and take your Xpresspost envelope. She asked if my husband had an updated police certificate, but he didn't, and she didn't seem too concerned about that.
She said it would be a short wait, and what felt like a few minutes later, she called my husband up to get his fingerprints taken. I went to the window with him though it was totally unnecessary, and I was amazed at how lightning quick the fingerprinting was.
When the fingerprints wer... read complete review

First of all, I just want to say thank you to other fellow visajourney members. The information you provided helped get ahead a great deal for my CR1 interview in Montreal.
Second, you MUST:
1. Bring Prepaid express envelope 12'x15' (Fill in the "TO" portion only)You can buy the envelope at the Shoppers on the same block as the embassy. The Post Office staff are super friendly and have dealt with plenty of us!
2. Bring 2 photographs
3. SHOW UP EARLY, as it is a FIRST COME, first get interviewed
4. Bring secondary information just in case, I wasn't asked, but one gentleman I was with was denied his visa because he didn't provide any secondary information!
My interview was during the third week of February. I went to the embassy the night before to get my bearings and how long it would take for me to walk from the metro. If you get off at Square-Victoria, you only have to walk two and a half blocks to the Embassy.
