Was very pleased and impressed with the attitudes and professionalism the consulate demonstrated, not to mention their patience and understanding with my hearing impairment. 
Thank you very much for making my interview pleasant and quick!

Interview date was July 29th, 2009.
Short Version: The staff and guards were friendly, helpful, and I had a good experience!
Long Version:
Montreal is a beautiful city, at least where we stayed in Old Montreal! We were a bit far from the consulate, so we took a cab there and arrived just after 7am. There were 4 people ahead of us already! But I was happy to be close to the front of the line. While waiting, and obsessively going through my things, I noticed that I didn't have my photos. My fiance returned to the hotel just as the doors opened. The security guard told him that they would let him in when he returned. I was processed through and given the letter "E" but so nervous I could barely be happy. I waited outside the elevator. My fiance returned just as the doors were opening, but had not found the photos. LUCKILY! There is a passport photo booth downstairs, by the elevator! You have 4 poses. They are a bit light but they are acceptable. I mad... read complete review

In Point Form:
- Arrive early, 6:30am. My appt was for 9am, was in line at 6:30am, was out by 10am (was the first approval out of the building, could hardy wipe the grin off my face) because I was one of the first in line.
- Bring your Fiance/e if possible. Having the support there makes a huge difference.
- If your fiance/e can't be there, no worries, all the officers who process you from the one who opens the door at 7:30am to the one who approves your visa are super nice people.
- There's a 24-hr Tim Horton's just down the street from the consulate.
- Don't bring the stuff they tell you not to bring. BUT, if you do, you'll get it back afterwards. (I'm not saying I did... just from observations.)
- There's a passport photo stand in the first waiting area (basement), in case those are forgotten. (I didn't have to use it...)
- There are snack and cold/hot drink vending machines in the second waiting area (19th floor.)

I went to the montreal consulate for 7:30am (my appointment was at 8). There were only a handful of people waiting to go throguh security before me. Went through security, then sat in a waiting room for about a half hour. A guard came to get the group of people in the waiting room, and brought us up to the 19th floor. We were given two tickets with a number, and waited until our number was called. This took about a half an hour. Once my number was called, I went to the booth, exchanged forms,then the lady pulled out my file, made notes, sent me to pay the fee, finger printed me, and asked me questions. She then gave me the second ticket back, and told me to wait in the waiting room. This took another half hour. Was called in for my interview, the interviewer was very friendly, asked me very basic questions about my relationship, gave me a welcome letter, and a slip to pick up my visa the following day. They apparently dont do that very often, only for special circumstances. I was back ... read complete review

Really simple, the whole thing took about 3 hours. When we got there the electricity was down so we had to wiat about 30 minutes for it to come back up and then once we got upstairs we had to wait another hour for the computers to come back up. All and all the actual interview only took about 10 minutes.
She asked me:
1) When we first met.
2) When we got enganged.
3) When we first met in person.
4) How we met.
5) What he did for a living.
6) How much money he made.
She then said okay this is all fine take this over to my colleage at window 2. I got there she gave me a paper notifying me to reappear with my medical results. I came back with my medical results the next day and she gave me my visas the day after that.
The worst thing about the interview was where its located. There was a demonstration going on at the time, which I'm sure is normal but... read complete review
