Here's how it all went down..
I first went next to the food court in Eaton Centre to leave the stuff I couldn't bring in a locker there, which cost $1. Then walked to the location where my interview was schedule. My interview was scheduled for 7:30 AM, which I arrived around 7:15 AM but seemed like it was first come first serve as a few people was already there lining up. The security officer then walk by all of us to make sure we didn't have anything that was prohibited and for the one that did, such as having a backpack (even if it was containing their baby stuff) was advised that it was prohibited. They then made us go 2 by 2 inside and another security lady made sure I guess, of our names on a list and gave us a plastified paper with a number and a list to follow on how to place our documents in order. I had #7. We then all organized our documents and waited for another security agent to let us go to the 19th floor which we had to wait for our number to be called. Once my nu... read complete review

I had my CR1 immigrant visa interview this morning. My appointment was scheduled for 8am. I arrived at the consulate at 7.20. The security guard came out at 7.30 and asked us to line up. We were then called in to the building one at a time, based on our interview time.
Once inside, I handed my passport to the woman at the podium by the front door who also asked my name. She put a sticker on it for tracking and handed it back along with a laminated card with a number and instructions on it. She then asked me to wait at the next door to be called in for security screening, which they did one person at a time. Inside security, they had my put all my belongings into a plastic tray and I walked through the metal detector. They then took my cell phone and gave me a ticket to retrieve it after. I was then sent down the stairs to the left where there is a waiting room.
Another security guard then came out and let us all into an elevator that had been roped up. I... read complete review

Hi, I have my interview coming soon and I was wondering, since I am also taking my child on a K2 with me at the interview.. Do I need to get all documents such as "Affidavit of Support", "Letter of Intent" and such, original and copies for my myself and for my child (2 original + 2 copies for each)? I'm thinking of doing extra copies but I wasn't sure if my child is required also an original + copies since it does state on the document that she is my dependent.. All my documents are ready and I just though about that as I was reviewing everything with my fiancé.
Also, does anyone know where I can leave my stuff in a locker near the interview location?
Thank you for taking the time to help this confused girl

The Consulate/Embassy reviews were probably some of the most helpful entries I read on VJ so I hope mine can help other couples as much as it helped us!
If you are standing on Boulevard René-Levesque facing the building, it does say SNC Lavalin on it, which confused me a bit. Walk down Rue Saint-Alexandre on the left side of the building and the entrance will have an A-frame sign that says what you cannot bring in. My appointment was at 9AM and I arrived at 8:25AM. There was no line, as I didn't lineup first thing when the embassy opened (I believe 7AM?). Based on all the reviews, I was pretty prepared to wait all morning. I organized all my documentation in an accordion binder and only brought my phone and wallet with me to the interview. I was first given a laminated sheet with a number at the top and a list to organize my documents. After going through security, I was given a small tag to pickup my phone after but was allowed to bring in my wallet.

My expierence at the Montreal usa embassy was fantastic, they were fast and efficient with emails and questions (do not be afraid to call, or email for questions or injuries they're there to help you). Furthermore, I had my interview around 7:30 am (please note: appointment time does not matter, its first come first serve basis).
When your enter the embassy they do a security check.. please be aware they do not allow big bags, purses etc. So just try to carry maybe something less than a wallet size.. in which, you can still not enter with and will be asked to keep it with security and given a ticket for pickup once you exit the building.
After you've passed through security you will walk down a flight of stairs into a room with a laminated paper which gives you the order in which your documents should be presented.
Security will give you time to gather your documents, but do not worry if you dont manage to finish on time because they will... read complete review
