I had my interview at the consulate in Montreal just a few days ago. The process went smooth and pretty fast. My time was quite early in the morning, and I showed up 5-10 mins prior to the given time. A security officer waved me in to the building and I gave my passport to another and was given 2 number slips. I went through small security and put my phone in a locker. You take the elevator to floor 1 and are put out into a waiting room with chairs to sit in open to the booths you’ll be called to by number. I sat and waited for my number to appear on the screens. I waited around 20 or so minutes before I was called to a booth and was asked for my original marriage certificate, original longform birth certificate, my husband’s (sponsor) tax returns, my police certificate, and my 2 passport photos. The officer then stated my address and my husband’s address in the States and asked if those were correct. He also then asked if our phone numbers were correct. He hung on to my marriage... read complete review

I had my interview in early January 2024 in Montreal for my IR-1
1. Do not come earlier than 5-10 minutes, it goes by appointment time, I stayed outside for 45 minutes and froze myself
2. Don’t bring laptop bags or any big bag!
3. The pre-interview checks your documents, these are the ones I was asked
Marriage certificate
RCMP police clearance ( I had a peace bond for assault on it back in 2009)
Passport photo ( they give it back to you after scanning it )
Birth certificate
4. The interview was very simple, few questions about my partner. We did our applications through assets since my sponsor doesn’t work. No issues
I was asked how did we meet, when did we meet and that’s it … passport came in the mail 7 days later with the visa on it

It was very difficult to find information in preparation for my interview in Montreal. I wasn't aware that I couldn't take a backpack in, and I had my computer with me and had to run back to my hotel to return it before my interview. During the interview, everything was a good experience and the people I met with were kind and communicated well. However, my police certificate didn't say 'other' on it, so they told me to take my passport home and then send it back with a new certificate. They said it would take 1 week to process the new certificate after I sent it to them. There was no information given on where to send the document, so I assumed I should send it to the consulate address. It was returned to me and I had to search online to find the correct address. It's been 7 weeks now since they've received my new certificate and passport, and I have no indication when I'll receive my approval documents and passport. I've attempted to email them but have not heard replies. My main com... read complete review

Had my interview this morning (December 11th) at 8am. Normally I don’t write reviews but VisaJourney has been a godsend for me and I hope I can pay it forward a small bit.
Arrived at the consulate 20 minutes early. There is a security guard at the door who asks if you are there for immigration or for passports and then asks your interview time. He let me in immediately even though there were people with 7:45 interview times behind me.
Some tips for entry:
- it’s best not to bring a bag. There was one woman who was let in with a tote purse, but another man was turned away because he had a laptop bag. They will send you to the second cup and tell you to ask them to hold your bag for you. This just seems like a hassle that isn’t worth it.
- you have to go through security similar to the airport. It makes everything run faster if you have minimal accessories (multiple coats, belts, winter accessories). Obviously, this isn’t always easy... read complete review
