Overall, the interview was probably the easiest part of the whole process. My appointment time was 7:30am. I got there at about 7:05am and parked almost directly across the street in a pay parking lot. It was a bit pricey ($14) but I didn't have to worry about time running out, parking tickets, being towed, etc.

When I got to the Consulate, there were about 6 other people waiting by the door. We all just waited around, not in a line or anything and then right at 7:30am a security guard came and opened the door and told everyone to line up, single file down the sidewalk along the wall. If you aren't the first one there and able to stand right at the door, I would suggest standing on the south side of the door (if you're looking at the doors, to the right) and anticipate the line will go toward Boul Rene-Levesque. Once the doors are open, they allow each person in individually (unless your fiance is with you, in which case you can enter at the same time). I handed my passp... read complete review

Interview Process:
I arrived at 730 am (interview appointment at 8). There was a line outside so I waited til the security guard waved me in. There is a women to the right who took my passport and put a sticker on it and gave me a lamenanted paper with the list of documents and the order they want them in. I was number 8! After, I was waved in to go through security. You place all your stuff in the bin and walk through a metal detector, you get your stuff back minus any electronics. (no purses or backpacks or large bags either). When you get to the immigration room, you sort your documents out and wait. By the time we got upstairs it was 8am and I was called to window #3 at 825am. Took about 15 minutes. She asked name of petitioner, and to verify his address and phone number. She took all my documentation and asked for 2 extras (photocopy of petitioners birth certificate and colored copy of passport). My fingerprints were taken and she made small talk about my very obvious preg... read complete review

Review Topic: V-1 Visa

Full disclosure, its been a while since my actual interview date but I will try to be as specific as I can with my memory. Woke up the morning of the interview with my papers in a little file folder and my ID. I made sure to get there early incase there was a line, my husband was not requested so he waited for me in the Starbucks just up the street. There were only about 3 of us in line, I was the second. When the consulate opened they asked me for my letter to scan and my ID, I was led inside and had to put my coat and folder through a scanner while I walked through a metal detector. Once through I was lead into the waiting room, I had stayed up all night the night before reading reviews so I knew to sit nearest the elevator so I could be the first one in. I had to wait what felt like 3 hours for everyone to come into the waiting area. Finally an employee came down near the elevator and asked everyone to wait in a line. We all entered the elevator, you want to stan... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Disclaimer: I'm writing on behalf of my husband. I attended with him as petitioner.

Our interview was March 21 at 9:00am. We flew in the day prior. We stayed at the Hotel Bonaventure at 900 de la Gauchetiere West. It is 850m, about a ~15 minute leisurely walk from the consulate. It is also a 3 minute/300m walk from the René-Lévesque / Mansfield stop on the 747 shuttle that goes directly to/from the airport. It's not the cheapest option, (~$160/night) but for one night we wanted the convenience of being close to the consulate and also convenient to the airport.

We arrived at 8:20 but didn't want to be too early, so walked around and came back at 8:30. After all the reviews, I was expecting a long line but there was no lineup either time we came to the consulate. At the door, we were given a laminated sheet with number and the documents required for the initial document review. We went through security, who held our phones and my water bottle. No issu... read complete review
