I left Ottawa with my mom and sister on Wednesday at 12:00 pm, after getting lost a few times, we finally got to my grandpa's house around 4 pm (it usually takes us about two hours) We went for dinner at some greek restaurant and went to see where exactly the Consulate was and headed back to grandpa's house. I was asleep by 8:30 pm but woke up a bunch of times throughout the night because I was sooo nervous!
I got up nice and early this morning, got ready and my grandpa took me to the Consulate. Let me tell you something about my dear grandpa.. the man can't drive! He was all over the road, was doing 50 on the high way, went through two red lights and we almost got hit!! I just kept praying to myself.. please just let me get to the Consulate in one piece! lol
I got to the Consulate at 6:30 am and my grandpa read the sign on the door saying that they open at 8:30 am. He kept saying that I was crazy to wait outside for two hours. I tried to explain to him a... read complete review

My mom and I left on Thursday morning, bright and early. The train ride wasn't that bad, we got great seats and I got some great shots along the way. Mostly I just wanted to get there and get it over with!!!
So...
I woke up bright and early (5:45am) on Interview day and made the 4 or so block walk to the Embassy. There weren't many people on the streets, it was cool and a nice enjoyable walk. I couldn't believe how calm I was...not one bit of nervousness.
The embassy is on 1155 Rue St. Alexandre which is on the corner of Rue St. Alexander and Rue LeBlanc O, it's a tall gray building.
If you are coming off of Rue. St Catherine street like I was (The huge shopping street) There is a pharmacy on the corner, turn right there and the embassy is on your left on Rue St. Alexandre.
I got there around 6:40am and waited for them to open the doors.
They let me in around 7:30 with no appointment letter (I never got one), jus... read complete review

Easy, efficient, friendly, no intimidation tactics. All in all it took about 2 hours, between waiting for different people to be ready for me, etc.

I would just like to say that the Vancouver consulate employees were very nice and kind. You could be the worst klutz in the world and they will still be patient and kind.
heres my experience:
Came to the consulate 2 hrs ahead of time, ate lunch at Goodfellas across the st (excellent food). Then arrived at the guard station 1/2hr before the interview, waited 10 min and they let me in. Went through a security check/metal detector. A A guard let me in a special elevator (dont get off on the wrong floor and jump on a different elevator, I did that by accident and they made me go down and around the building to the guard door again, but they were kind about it.) Then I went through another checkpoint and sat in a waiting room for maybe 20min, they called me to a booth, and I gave them the documents they requested. Sat down for like 30-45min then they called me up to be fingerprinted with a machine (yay no ink). Sat down again, for like 5 min, got called up to... read complete review

WOW! what to say and where to start? loll I had my interview on june 4th and I was more relaxed than I expected to be lol....prolly the confidence hehe  In my opinion the most stressful thing was the security check at the entry...you never know what to expect but the guys was friendly and polite even telling me please and yes mam loll...what a good start  .
Then once you are upstairs, its just a matter of patience loll..not to bad though. i was called at window 9 first to give the super nice lady my appt letter and passport and then was told to go in waiting room and my name would be called....which happened about 15 minutes later. Once again I got a really nice and polite lady who asked me for my papers (originals and copy). She was so pleased with my 'organized file' . (that made her work easier). I then went to pay at the cashier and gave the lady at window 12 my receipt and she took my fingerprints... She was nice and even... read complete review
