Hello All!
I have my Appointment yesterday Morning, myself and 2 K2 Applicants (my children). The Process was overall really good and seamless and everyone was very helpful.
We got to our 8:00am Appointment at 7:30 and stood in line. The security let the the 7:30 people first, and then us. The guard was nice and noticed the kids were cold so he let them wait inside which was so lovely of him. Once inside I had a purse with me, that was essentially empty minus paperwork in a folder and my wallet and cellphone. (Kids each brought one small toy). I was able to bring in the purse and I turned off my cell and left it with the guard who gave me a ticket number to pick up.
Next we went into a basement with the group and with up to 19th floor.
Waited until our number was called, which maybe took about 45 mins (wasnt watching the clock that much). They lady who helped us was very helpful and we had all the documents needed.
I went... read complete review

My interview was March 6, 2019
8am
Quick note: seriously read on their website what not to bring, there are lockers at the Eatons center if needed. No bags or electronics allowed, although if you had a phone they held it for you on the main floor, i left mine at my airbnb. They will not allow you in with large bags or backpacks.
I got there just before 7:30am, few people already standing in line and within 5 minutes the security guard slowly started letting people in.
The lady inside asked for my passport and appointment letter. She put a sticker on the back of my passport and handed me a laminated paper with the number 10 on it and with instructions on how to organize my documents. Then i was moved to security (same as the airport) then was told to go downstairs and wait. Within a few minutes the security guard came down and got us in the elevator and up to the 19th floor.
From there you sit on the left side of the room, the ... read complete review

I had my interview this morning and though I was successful, I would not say it was a good experience for me. First of all, it was absolutely freezing outside to the point where strangers were huddling together for warmth, and they do not open those doors until exactly 0730, so dress warmly.
My negative part of the experience was not the interview itself, but the precursor to that where you talk to a person at the counter and they arrange your documents for you. A tip: the document list on the consulate website states you should have copies of your birth certificate and passport. They DON'T mention that they want copies of basically any original document including previous divorce certificates, or documents that have been translated from French to English, for example a birth certificate from the province of Quebec. I had to pay $1 to go to a cashier and have one of my documents copied - more on that later. But just make copies of everything to be on the safe side.

I personally had a wonderful experience at this embassy. I found the officers/staff very personable, polite and friendly. I arrived early and since I had an 8:30am interview the embassy was just opening and there was a line outside. There was a sign regarding cell phones being banned inside and I freaked out a little because I had mine on me. I was prepared to leave it somewhere outside (hotel too far away) because I was NOT missing my interview but they allowed me to just use a locker in the security clearance room that you first enter which was awesome. They gave me a ticket to retrieve my phone after. Very organized, very accommodating.
I waited about 30 minutes to be called up to the initial desk. This was the part of the interview where they just wanted to ensure all your documents were with you and verified my information. I was told to have a seat and waited about another 30 minutes for my actual interview. I walked in finally and found the officer very warm and ... read complete review

For all the nerves that went into this, it was really smooth and anti-climactic (which was welcome!). We showed up at the consulate just before 7:00am for our 7:30am appointment. It was fantastically cold and our early arrival landed us with #1 for the day. It was right around 7:30am that they started letting us into the building - one at a time, but they were moving pretty quickly with this given how cold it was outside. The first person they let in was actually the small child of a couple behind us so that she could sit inside and wait where it was warm, which I thought was a genuinely nice touch. Our passports were checked at the front door and then we were ushered to security and sent through the metal detector. Our car keys were marked for pick up with the guards when we were done. We sat in the basement waiting room while enough people were accumulated to begin sending us upstairs in the elevator. We used this time to get our documents into the order listed on the laminat... read complete review
