Our K3 interview was Jan 11th at 2:30pm. My wife and I arrived about 15 minutes early and there was just one other person at the security checkpoint. The guards were friendly and passage was easy since we followed the guidelines that came with the interview appointment letter. They sent us to the 19th floor to window 12 and there were maybe 10 people there altogether, some alone and some with spouses/fiance(e)s (I understand the mornings are much busier than the afternoons). When called up they took our name and appointment letter then we sat back down. Called up again we had to give the original and one copy of all the items from the checklist that came with packet 3, for us that was the birth certificate, marriage certificate, my divorce certificate, police certificate, forms 156 and 156k. Also they wanted two photos and of course my passport. Then we sat down in the main waiting area until they called my name and we went into an interview room. The interviewer was very polite... read complete review

First of all, a note about staying in Vancouver. We thought we'd be genius and stay on the outskirts of downtown to save some money on our hotel. Well, save money on the hotel, we did. But the money we saved we spent on taxis TO downtown. So my recommendation, find a downtown hotel, spend a little more money. You can walk to the medical, the interview, the fun touristy area, the beach, the park, the aquarium, and pretty much anything you'd really want to do. If we would have stayed in a downtown hotel, the only time we would have had to get at taxi was to get out to the airport. Also, be warned, there is a really bad part of town just outside of downtown, so if you don't know the area and are driving yourself, be very careful.
Alright, enough of that, onto the medical.
Craig had his medical with Dr. Ian Morgan at Woking Medical Services in Vancouver. The building is on one of the main stretches downtown, and the address is very visable, although there isn't really... read complete review

Well, at 6:00 a.m. (ok.. 6-ish) when the guy at the hotel's front desk said it was -30 outside I decided not to go line up by 7:00 a.m. as planned. To hell with it - I'm not a penguin after all!
So at 7:15 I left the safety of the nice warm hotel room and walked the 50 steps or so over to the consulate with my scarf wrapped around my head like an old Italian granny. I was the first person there and by the time they unlocked the doors and invited me in at about 7:25, I truly began to question whether this visa was actually worth standing outside in the freezing cold for. Ok.. not really, but I did consider just coming back later.
Then the doors were opened and all was forgotten. It was definitely more pleasant than going through airport security. I did not have to take my shoes off and the guards/officers were very nice. After the security check, I was given a chit which read "A - window #9". The guard told me not to lose it cause it meant I was first in li... read complete review

I attempted to get into the consulate shortly after 1, and was told to come back at 2:15. I don't know if that's going to be the norm now, but it may well be.
Hit a snag with security when the officer who had taken my coat took it, and to my surprise started fiddling with the pocket, shaking it, and then discovered that my daughters had been nice enough to give me a "snack" of a lollipop without a wrapper, and with the damp wet weather, it had fused to my pocket. There were 4 different officers each telling me to do something different right after each other. After collecting my things, I was instructed to go upstairs to window 14. The lady who had come in with me made it first. I paid my fees, then was given my number. I then sat in the IV waiting room, and waited for my number to pop up. Not too long after, the 2 of us were joined by another K1er, and that was it. I had been expecting more people than that.
My number was called, and I went to... read complete review
