I parked directly across the street from the consulate, it cost $20 but well worth it. Upon arrival, I was told I was too early, you cannot show up more than 15 minutes before your interview time. I waited in my car then went in 15 minutes beforehand. I saw the greeter first, she was pleasant and took my interview confirmation letter, the my passport on which she placed a sticker. I went through security (you cannot bring in a cell phone, if you do they will keep it until you leave) They also kept my remote for my car.
I was then guided through the doors to the left and told to go to the elevator and then up to the 19th floor. I did and entered a large room with chairs. There were huge windows with amazing views of Montreal. The chairs faced windows in a wall which is where the employees worked.
I was given a number and waited for it to be called. The first time it was called was to provide my documentation. I already had everything in order including a few extra things, which they ended up asking for. Be extra prepared! Once the documentation was complete, my fingerprints were taken and then I sat down again and waited for my number to be called again. Once it was, I was called to a different window where my actual interview took place. I was asked literally 2 questions, How did we meet and where did my husband work. Once I had said we were married for 6 years she was fine and we just chatted. Both of the ladies I interacted with were extremely friendly and made me feel at ease.
Once complete I simply left the building and got into my car. Very good experience.
