I had my interview at the Montreal Consulate on February 8, 2024 at 7:45 AM.
I stayed at the Best Western Downtown Europa, which is quite literally around the corner from the consulate. I walked over around 7:35 after seeing notes from others saying you don't really need to be there early, since a security officer pops outside and asks everyone in line what time their interviews are. If you're scheduled for 7:45 but the person in front of you is scheduled for 8:00, they will take you out of line and bring you inside. There was probably 10-15 people in line already when I got there.
Once inside you give your passport to someone who checks your name off a list, gives you two pieces of paper with your number on it and puts a sticker on the back of your passport. You go through an airport-style security before being told to put your phone and smart watch (if wearing one) into a locker. You take the key with you when you go upstairs. You'll take the elevator up... read complete review

We had a pleasant experience overall with the consulate. My husband had his interview on December 22nd, 2023. The interview went well and the officer was polite and asked my husband a few questions before letting him know he would put our case into administrative processing. We received a 221G white slip and were asked to send his passport in. My husband sent his passport the next day, on December 23rd, and it was received on December 27th. I emailed the consulate on January 8th, 2024, inquiring about the case status, and on January 22nd, I received a response stating our case was "pending final review by a consular officer."
By chance, I checked the visa status on January 30th, and the visa had been issued! On Feb 1st, my husband received his passport with the visa stamped in it, crossed the border the same day, and is currently on his way to me in Nevada!!
** I will say this has been a slightly stressful experience for us both. My husband was not allowed... read complete review

Went to Vancouver for my medical appointment just after Christmas at Dr Cheema’s office. Experience was great as the staff were helpful and easy to work with. I had a shor done at the clinic and was out of there pretty quickly. They sent me to a lab that we were able to walk to for bloodwork and a urine sample, then we went to a clinic for a very quick chest xray. The process was quick and simple and I was sent an email a couple days from Cheema’s office later letting me know that they’d emailed the medical exam information and results to the consulate in Montreal.

I had my interview at the consulate in Montreal just a few days ago. The process went smooth and pretty fast. My time was quite early in the morning, and I showed up 5-10 mins prior to the given time. A security officer waved me in to the building and I gave my passport to another and was given 2 number slips. I went through small security and put my phone in a locker. You take the elevator to floor 1 and are put out into a waiting room with chairs to sit in open to the booths you’ll be called to by number. I sat and waited for my number to appear on the screens. I waited around 20 or so minutes before I was called to a booth and was asked for my original marriage certificate, original longform birth certificate, my husband’s (sponsor) tax returns, my police certificate, and my 2 passport photos. The officer then stated my address and my husband’s address in the States and asked if those were correct. He also then asked if our phone numbers were correct. He hung on to my marriage... read complete review

I had my interview in early January 2024 in Montreal for my IR-1
1. Do not come earlier than 5-10 minutes, it goes by appointment time, I stayed outside for 45 minutes and froze myself
2. Don’t bring laptop bags or any big bag!
3. The pre-interview checks your documents, these are the ones I was asked
Marriage certificate
RCMP police clearance ( I had a peace bond for assault on it back in 2009)
Passport photo ( they give it back to you after scanning it )
Birth certificate
4. The interview was very simple, few questions about my partner. We did our applications through assets since my sponsor doesn’t work. No issues
I was asked how did we meet, when did we meet and that’s it … passport came in the mail 7 days later with the visa on it
