Totally 1hr and 30 min from walk-in to walk-out. Appt time is 8am, arrived at 750am. No wait time between document submission and actual interview. Documents requested but not on the sheet is a copy of previous passport. In addition to 134 and tax they also wanted original employment letter, recent three pay slips, and recent three months of bank statements. Good luck everyone! I would recommend to have a latest possible appointment time and don't show up too much earlier. Then you may have a better sleep and not to rush for breakfast. People before me had to wait for 5-10 mins between document submission and actual interview.

Had my interview Wednesday at 8 am, but got there around 7:30. I stayed at a hotel called Trylon, and it was a 15 min walk/8$ uber ride. There was a line up of about 8 people ahead of us, of which were there for 7:30 interviews, and the security guard only took those for 7:30am a few min before 7:30. Those of us who had 8 am interviews got let in a few mins before 8 am.

I don't need to repeat the process as it is exactly how many users have described and been very detailed about; checking in, security, going upstairs, being called to the first booth, being called to the 2nd booth.

There was less than 14 of us during the 8 am interview slot, and we did not spend too much time inside the consulate, we were out by 9am!

Only 3 people were working the first windows you are called up to to hand in your documents, and 2 people doing the interviews.

I got called to the first window #1 and she asked for:

My appointment was at 9 AM.

I arrived the day before and stayed at L'Appartement on Sherbrooke. The hotel was a bit dated but I am glad I chose it. It is a 15-minute walk from Central Station, an 8-minute walk from the consulate, and across the street from Medisys. The staff at L'Appartement are extremely kind and speak fluent English. They granted me a late checkout of 1:00 PM, which allowed me to leave my bags in my room for free while I went to my interview. All of the rooms also have a full kitchen, which is great for people traveling with dietary restrictions.

I arrived at the consulate at 8:30 AM. As others have noted, it seems that the appointment time doesn't really matter -- they give you a number and you are called in that order. So arriving a bit early does seem to have some advantages.

You go through security where they take your phone. No food or drinks are allowed in the consulate. There are some vending machines after... read complete review

My Interview happened on Sept. 6th. I had read other reviews which were very helpful. I had to pick up my Medical package from Medysis the day of my interview. Medysis opens around 6:50am. If you have to pick up your medical the day of your interview, GO EARLY! By the time I walked to the consulate from Medysis, it was approx. 7:15 and there were already people lined up.

ENTRANCE
You will wait in line until a guard comes out and asks everyone to have the "interview appt. letter" and passport ready. You enter the entrance of the building, and wait for a person at a podium to enter details of your passport and interview information into the system, places a sticker on your passport and directs you to the security area. They also give you a plasticised paper, asking you to sort out your documents in a certain order when you get upstairs. This will have a number on it. I was number 10.

SECURITY
***Please note: no food or drinks are allo... read complete review
