My son's interview was booked for 7:30am, mine 8:30am. We waited outside with a half dozen people or so after 7am. It was bitterly cold with temps around -20 with wind chill. My son and other small child started to really suffer. I was so happy the security guards came out around 7:15am to let the kids in. They were kind that way. As a result I unintentionally got moved to the front of the line and was #2 going in. I checked in my phone and was given a "coupon" to pick up after. Me, my son, the other father, his daughter and another person all went up the elevator to the 19th floor. We were the first ones to arrive. The consulate has an incredible view. There is a small play area for children and a couple of vending machines along with washrooms. I waited no more than a few minutes before my name was called to window #1. I submitted my son and my documents despite the difference in appointment times. I offered the tax transcript to which she took and she also took a copy of last years ... read complete review

This was a pretty straight forward process. My appointment was at 7:30.
I arrived at 7:10 since it will be based on first come first serve basis. They let us in at around 7:30. If you ever have to have your interview in the winter, dress warm! I had layers and so much on to stay warm since they only let you in one at a time.
You first show your passport, then they give you a number, then you have to go through security like at the airport.
After that you walk downstairs and wait until a good number of you can go up to the 19th floor.
You wait for your number to be called. By that point it was around 7:45am. I was #1 so it happened pretty fast.
If you have all your papers in the right order they tell you to, then it's so easy.
They asked for
1) Passport
2) 2 passport photos
3) original long form birth certificate
4) long form and short form marriage certificate
5) original police certifica... read complete review

Accommodations
I stayed at Le Square Phillips Hotel. Admittedly it is a little on the pricey side, but location-wise it is a 5 minute walk to the consulate.
I arrived earlier then expected on Tuesday and since my room was ready, they let me check in. They also gave me a later checkout the next day so I could rest after I got back from the interview. The hotel itself is quite nice, and the staff is very accomodating. There are also some nice added bonuses (including complimentary continental breakfast, as well as a gym and a pool).
The Interview
I had collected all of documents listed
for Packet 4. I also brought my DS-160 confirmation, copies of my fiancés ID, 2015 tax returns/W2, and some evidence of our ongoing relationship (none of these things were asked for).
I placed each document in a clear sleeve with a label, and used a binder to hold all of the sheets. I brought a small recyclable bag with me to hold the binder,... read complete review

This was a very easy and straight forward process. Every review i read with regards to the Montreal Consulate was very accurate.
Be prepared, bring all required paperwork. originals etc, The whole process took about 2 hrs , 15 minutes of that time was the paperwork check and the interview. There were about 70 people waiting. I arrived at 7:30am, my appointment was at 8am. I waited outside to be let in. Went through Security , fyi, car keys with fobs are not allowed in the consulate, but they take them and put them in the cubby hole and give you a number to retrieve your items later. They give you a sheet with instructions with a # on it. You are told to take the elevator upstairs and wait for your # to be called. They went through my paperwork, my lawyer had me bring my daughters original long form birth certificate as the NVC had asked for it. My daughter is not immigrating with me (She is 25yrs old and has her own life in Canada). They did not ask to see her original birth cer... read complete review

I few in at 2AM the night of the interview. Slept on a bench in the airport for a few hours. (I'm 6 months pregnant I can sleep anywhere) I chose to travel to the consulate on the Bus 474, that everyone has pointed out. I planned to get to the consulate 30 min early, which was a very good thing, because the Bus didn't arrive at the time it was supposed too. I used google maps to track it google maps was telling me that I was going to be 30 min late for my interview!! So! Not a smooth morning.
I made it to the interview on time! But! When they say no back packs in the consulate, they mean it! Even if the documents are all that you have in the consulate. The very kind security guard told me that there is a mall near by with lockers that I could take it too. And that I had about an hour to make it back for the interview. So! there was a whole adventure finding an underground mall in a city that has very very few English signs. My French is not very good at all. ... read complete review
