Great experience, easy process!
My interview was at 9:15am on Wed, Aug 25, 2021. I got to the consulate at 9am and there was already a line of 5-6 people. I stood in line and at exactly 9:12, the line hadn’t moved at all so I skipped the people in front to talk to an officer inside the building about my interview time and he told me to wait on the side. The other people in line had interviews for 9:30/9:45 when I asked them. At 9:14am, I asked the officer again and he let me inside after asking for my name to check on their list.
Went through airport style security and I was allowed to put my phone (turned off) and AirPods in a tiny locker (like the size of those community mailboxes). Locked it up and took the key with me. I didn’t bring a purse with me, only a giant clear zip file bag where I put all my docs, and wallet. I was told to see window 5 upstairs so I took the elevator to the consulate floor (marked on the elevator button pad). ... read complete review

A really easy experience. I was extremely nervous and anxious inspite of being well prepared with my application but believe me when I say there's no need to be!!
The security allows you to enter inside only on your appointment time and not before that. My appointment was at 10:15 and that's when they let me in.
You go through an airport security-like checkpoint. Put your documents in a bin that is x-rayed. Then you step through the metal detector and since I was not having anything on me other than my documents folder, I just had to go to the 1st floor, window 5.
I checked in at window 5, handed my passport to this lady who gave me a ticket and told me to have a seat. When my number was called I went to a different window and they asked me for the following documents:
- Proof of visa payment
- Color Photocopy of bio page of my passport
- Original and copy of beneficiary's birth certificate
- I-134 and su... read complete review

Overall a really easy experience that I was anxious about for no reason (and if you're anxious like I was - there's no need to be!).
As others have said, you go through an airport security-like checkpoint. Put your documents and bag/coat in a bin that is x-rayed. Then you step through the metal detector and a guard asks you to put your electronics into a little apartment sized mailbox locker and hang on to the key.
I checked in at window 6, handed my passport to the CO who gave me a ticket and told me to have a seat. When my number was called I went to a different window and they asked me for the following documents:
- Proof of visa payment
- Photocopy of bio page of my passport
- Original and copy of beneficiary's birth certificate
- I-134 and 1040 from 2020 (I did not have the tax transcript but 1040 was fine and they did not ask for any other financial documents)
- Police Certificate(s)
- 2 Passport ph... read complete review

My experience was pretty consistent with other reviews of VJ members, and it took a little over 2 hours from entering the building to the finish.
My interview was set at 9:15am on Aug 11th. I arrived in Montreal a day before and checked out the location in the evening. I was so nervous and barely slept that night.
On the interview date, I arrived 10 mins early and found a line of people already forming at the entrance. I joined the line and waited till a security started bringing people in.
I noticed people are just bringing a binder of documents without a bag/purse. I imagined many of them are VJ members.
9:15 - A security asks a standard sets of covid screening questions and let me inside the building. I proceed to the security check with the x-ray machine like the one you see at the airport security. After that screening, I was instructed to store a cell phone in the small locker behind the reception desk and told to go up to window 6 o... read complete review
