This review is for a K-1 visa interview in Montreal on April 7, 2009.
My Canadian fiance and I arrived at the embassy at 6:40am. Next person arrived at about 6:55am. By 7:15am, there were about a dozen others in line. The doors opened promptly at 7:30am. Be prepared to present interview letter and your passport. The guard will appreciate it. My fiance was given a card with the letter A on it. Letters indicate the order in line, since it is first-come, first-served.
Once through the metal detector, you will go down one flight of steps to a waiting room. The guard clipped the letter card to her passport, along with a couple of other documents we had to bring (listed in the interview letter instructions). When a few others were also ready, the guard ushered us into the elevator to the 19th floor waiting area. There, he submitted everyone's paperwork to the clerk.
In about 5 minutes, my fiance's name was called to a window, where the c... read complete review

My wife had her CR-1 visa interview in Montreal on March 30, 2009. Here is an overview.
6.45am - My wife and I arrived outside the embassy. We were the first ones. A few others started showing up closer to 7.
7.30am - Guard opened door and we walked through to security. It's pretty much like airport security, nothing new. The guard clipped our passports & interview letter together, with a letter on top (we got 'A', the people after us got 'B', and so on). Then he asked us to go downstairs and wait for another guard to take us up to the 19th floor.
7.45am - Another guard came down in the elevator, took our clipped documents (passport, interview letter, etc) and took us up to the 19th floor. There, he asked us to sit in the waiting area.
8.15am - My wife's name was called on the intercom to appear at window 12. We both went there. The lady there took my wife's medical report and passport pics, then asked us to verify the addresses on our DS-23... read complete review

Lined up at 6:55am, doors opened at 7:30ish. All of the visa applicants were kept separate from the other folks. We were all processed (paperwork + fingerprints + fees submitted) by 9am. The first interview started around 9:25am, and each one lasted about 10 minutes -- with a 5 minute break between interview. I was 3rd in line from the original lineup, so I was called third for the interview at 9:55. My interview was very short, consisting of only a few questions about how we met, where we plan to stay, what I do, what my fiancee does. I was done in about 5 minutes. I was approved and outside by 10:05am.
It pays to be organized and to also have an idea of what they'll ask for... read more in the Canadian forum (there's a great K-1 interview thread going there).

The staff at the consulate were very nice and professional. They printed and gave me the visa at the time of the interview.
