My wife had her interview October 19th at 9am in Downtown Montreal.
We arrived at 8:30am and had to line up outside. I was allowed to go up with her.
We did the usual security check. They check in your keys and cellphone at the security desk and make you empty your pockets etc.
We had a binder with all the documents (copies and originals).
We went up to the 19th floor and waited in the middle section.
it took about 2 hours to get called to the 1st window.
They asked for AOS, the birth cert with translation, passport, canadian visa, police cert.
She went back and sat down for 20 mins or so and was called for the interview (I was allowed to stay)
we gave the interviewer all the documents he asked for, nothing additional needed like evidence of relationship, pictures or misc. I gave him my US passport.
He asked where I lived and worked and didn't ask any personal questions. He only asked if she ever committed a crime and joked about never being caught. He was very pleasant and quick.
She was approved and told it would be 3-5 for processing and the visa would be ready in lachine.
it has been 5 days now and the CEAC site says ready still but we are hoping to get the waybill/tracking # today or tomorrow.
I felt the process was very easy and quick.
If you are organized and bring everything listed on letter or visa journey (which is amazing!!), you just get there early enough and calm, you should be fine!
