It was very difficult to find information in preparation for my interview in Montreal. I wasn't aware that I couldn't take a backpack in, and I had my computer with me and had to run back to my hotel to return it before my interview. During the interview, everything was a good experience and the people I met with were kind and communicated well. However, my police certificate didn't say 'other' on it, so they told me to take my passport home and then send it back with a new certificate. They said it would take 1 week to process the new certificate after I sent it to them. There was no information given on where to send the document, so I assumed I should send it to the consulate address. It was returned to me and I had to search online to find the correct address. It's been 7 weeks now since they've received my new certificate and passport, and I have no indication when I'll receive my approval documents and passport. I've attempted to email them but have not heard replies. My main com... read complete review

Had my interview this morning (December 11th) at 8am. Normally I don’t write reviews but VisaJourney has been a godsend for me and I hope I can pay it forward a small bit.
Arrived at the consulate 20 minutes early. There is a security guard at the door who asks if you are there for immigration or for passports and then asks your interview time. He let me in immediately even though there were people with 7:45 interview times behind me.
Some tips for entry:
- it’s best not to bring a bag. There was one woman who was let in with a tote purse, but another man was turned away because he had a laptop bag. They will send you to the second cup and tell you to ask them to hold your bag for you. This just seems like a hassle that isn’t worth it.
- you have to go through security similar to the airport. It makes everything run faster if you have minimal accessories (multiple coats, belts, winter accessories). Obviously, this isn’t always easy... read complete review

My interview was on Monday November 6, 2023 at 8:15.
The building is non-descript, I assumed there would at least be an American flag but there is nothing to indicate that you are at the consulate unless you are looking into the front doors and you'll see the insignia etched into the glass of the doors on the left. So I'm glad I checked it out the day before, to ensure where I was going the following day. For reference, it is at the corner of Rue. Sainte-Catherine and Stanley St., with a Second Cup coffee shop on the other side of Stanley, and an "Aritzia" clothing store across the street on Sainte-Catherine. The building has glass doors, and when you walk into the front lobby, the consulate doors are immediately to the left.
I arrived about 5 minutes before my scheduled time. I was one of 3 people waiting, and entering was quick and efficient; precisely at 8:15.
I handed my passport to the woman sitting at the desk, She put a sticker on my ... read complete review

I had my visa appointment November 17th @9:15am. It was very easy and everyone there was really nice. It was quite nerve wracking so I’ll give as much information as I can remember for those like me who get super nervous.
Firstly, the location of the embassy is kind of tricky to locate because there are no signs, however, once you locate RBC bank the embassy is the door right next to the bank. It is directly across the street from aritzia/little burgundy.
Once I located it I didn’t have to wait in line at all I was able to walk right in then they opened the door to security and let me right in. I put my phone in the locker and all of my stuff through airport like security. They also gave me two slips in my passport with my number on it. I was able to bring my plastic water bottle in with me. After this I took the elevator up to floor one which exits directly into the room you’ll be waiting in. The room is almost like the same type of room ... read complete review
