VISA APPROVED!! 
I'm going to do this in point form, hopefully it will help some. Everyone was really nice and straight forward with what they needed.
*Got to 1155 St.Alexandre at 7:20am. 20 mins early. 6 people ahead of me. Guard let in people one or two at a time. He directs you to your left, bottom of steps, where a woman confirms you do indeed have an appointment AND have signed up for your loomis/dhl
*Walk up stairs (5-6 steps) wait at a door to proceed and do a security check. They took my coat and everything in my coat in one bin. And my papers/folder/passport in another. took a whole 60 seconds. I brought a small wallet and my car key. That's it. no bags allowed anyway
*After security they tell you to take a door on the left downstairs and to wait in the designated area. There is a photo booth there. 10$ for pictures. STAY NEXT TO THE ELEVATOR (i wouldn't have known if it wasn't for VJ <3) They screen everyone who was scheduled for 7:40 and once that's done, they allow you to take the elevator up to the 19th floor. I waited about 15 mins. Got in , faced the back doors.
*Once on the 19th floor... a greeter gives you a number. Everyone should be in single file anyway.I got #2. I was told to take my seat and wait to be called. I waited 10 mins. I was called to window 2.
*At the window she asked me for my documents. I forgot to make a copy of a translation of my divorce. She said I needed to pay 1$/page. I had to go to window 14 A...get a receipt and go back to the woman. I had to pay the exchange. It's 1.10$.
*I noticed she hadn't taken my copy of DS-160 so I mentioned it. She said it was ok and she didn't want it. Then I said I have my "Proof of Relationship" to which she replied "Keep it for the interviewer". Then I took a seat and waited.
*About 15 mins later , I was called to window 9. I was greeted with a smile. She asked me to read aloud the text on the window. It's a couple paragraphs basically swearing an oath to no lie , be fraudulent and be truthful to the best of your knowledge. She returned my originals
She asked me What my fiance did. What i plan to do. If I have kids. If this was my first marriage. If he has kids. We spoke about how long it takes by train to get to my fiance. I offered the give her the "Proof of Relationship" she said she didn't need it.
Without exaggeration, I was there for 5 mins. Probably less. She told me I was approved and to expect the Visa/Passport to be delivered to my DHL within 1-2 weeks.
****Everyone was polite. Friendly.
There is a vending machine, fountain and Bathrooms on the 19th floor
They didn't need my CD from my medical.
Make extra copies of everything. Or you will pay 1.10$ / page. I really didn't think to make a copy of a translation. My bad.
Standard no Cells, helmets, bags, electronic keys etc..
Dress appropriately cause you WILL wait outside until they let you in regardless of when you're scheduled , and let's face it. It's getting effin nippy.*****
Good luck everyone <3
