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.

First off for the IR1/CR1 bring the following, even if not instructed to:
1 Canada Post prepaid envelope (NATIONAL) Size 12" x 15"

Both people I dealt with at the consulate were awesome. They were happy, approachable etc.
#1. Name called. Go to window - review paper work - make necessary corrections - provide envelope, passport pictures, letter from medical. Thy didn't want the xray but you do have to bring it. (He told me the xray is valid for 10 years). Sit down again.
#2. Name called. Go to window - take fingerprints. Sit down again.

The interview at the consulate went relatively well. Our appointment was in the afternoon. We got there early, but we were told to wait outside as they do not let anyone into the consulate early.
There was 2 security checks that needed to be done. The first one at the front door. They confirmed the appointment and then did the usual metal detector check and led us to the elevator.
Upon reaching the right floor we had to go through another security check and then waited. We were called about 15 minutes later.
At the first window, the consular officer looked over paperwork and told us to take a seat again. We waited for another hour or so before we were called to a second window where the actual interview took place.
The interview was very basic...asked how we met, how often we've seen each other, confirmed when the wedding was going to take place etc...
I believe the total interview time was about 10 minute... read complete review
