I wanted to share my experience because I found the reviews here very helpful.
My interview appointment at the Montreal consulate was for 8:30am. I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard Downtown which is across the street and down one block. I would definitely recommend staying somewhere near the consulate so you're not worried about trying to get there before your appointment.
Although you have an appointment time it pays to be early (if you can) to your interview. I showed up at the consulate about 7:50am (doors open at 7:30am I believe) and if I had been 30 seconds earlier I would have been out of the consulate 45min sooner (I watched two people walk in as I was walking to the door). You are given a number based on the order you enter the consulate.
As others have described, there is a guard & receptionist when you first walk in. You will get checked in and given the number/paper explaining the order for your documents. You then wait for the s... read complete review

My husband had his interview appointment at 7:30 AM on a Monday morning. I flew up to Montreal to be with him for the interview and we love the city so it was a fun little weekend getaway for the both of us. We went to the consulate on Sunday to check out where it is etc. and I was kinda surprised that the entrance was located on a small street that kind looked like an alley way.
On the morning of the interview, it was raining and cold, we arrived around 7:07 AM and there were already 2 people ahead of us. The doors opened promptly at 7:30 AM and by that time there were 5 of us total. The security guard letting us in was very nice and had us line up from the order of arrival, he let two people in at a time. When we got inside we checked in with a lady who looked at our appointment letter and asked if I was the petitioner, she then gave us the laminated sheet of paper with the order they want the documents and then sent us through security. Security was easy, just had to... read complete review

Had my interview at 9am we got there at 8:30 and were let in. First you check in with a lady at the entrance with an iPad. She asked for my interview letter and my passport as well as my husbands passport (since he wanted to enter the consulate with me). I was then given a laminated sheet with a # on it and the order they wanted the documents arranged. We were then checked by the security guard. No bags purses wallets coins or anything really is allowed into the consulate. After walking through the security scanner we went up to the 19th floor.
We waited for about 1.5 hours to be called up to submit all documents. The lady doing the intake of the documents was very kind and professional kept smiling and explained everything. She took my fingerprints and started asking for my paperwork.
I submitted in this order:
Passport
2 passport pics
Medical
Original birth certificate
Original marriage certificate
Original police... read complete review

This is all secondhand as I did not attend with my husband, so there are definitely some gaps but I wanted to share what he said.
His appointment was at 7:30 today, March 22, so he arrived around 7 and was second in line. He said that closer to 7:30 the line grew dramatically so he was glad that he decided to get there early. He stayed at an AirBnB a quarter mile away and walked so I can't speak to parking. He knew that he wouldn't be allowed to bring his phone inside (also no backpacks or large bags) so he left those at the AirBnB. He had his keys on him but as he went through security he stored them in a locker and picked them up on his way out.
The security guard opened the doors at 7:30 and started allowing people in. He was given a laminated sheet that told him how to order his documents and sent to the basement. Then once a few others had been processed in, they all took the elevator up to the waiting room. Once inside he got his paperwork together... read complete review

We (Myself and my 3 K2s) stayed at Le Square Phillips Hotel and Suites (I highly recommend) which was maybe a 5 minute walk away. (The hotel was very nice, the staff was great, and the kids enjoyed the pool. The continental breakfast is pretty good too, quite a selection.)
We arrived at the consulate at 7am for our 7:30 appointment time, and were second in line. It wasn't long before the line grew. The wait wasn't bad because a few of us VJers started chatting. My K2s were bored senseless.
At exactly 7:30, a guard came out and placed the board that states what's prohibited from entering the building. He let people in one by one.
Immediately upon entering, there was a lady at a booth who checked you in. She took our appointment confirmation sheet and our passports and placed a sticker on the backs and gave me the laminated sheet with your number (our's was #2) and the list of order to arrange your documents.
Next, you get guided through a d... read complete review
