I had my interview in Montreal on December 13th. The previous reviews on this site did a great job of describing the process. Overall it was a great experience and all of the staff were friendly, professional and patient. Here are a couple comments:
- you have to line-up outside the building until they call in the time of your interview appointment. It was a little chilly outside so take that into consideration
- no laptop bags, backpacks or large bags are allowed to come in. You need to find a business nearby if you don't have a car available
- bring a book to read to pass the time as you leave your phone in the security area
- first you wait for your number to be called and then review some info and supply some documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, photo, passport)
- then you can called to get your fingerprints taken
- then after waiting you get called for your interview (done through a glass barrier)
My appointment was on a friday and my approved visa (attached to passport) was shipped via the courier the following monday! Very fast turn around.
All in all, it was a good experience. It was nerve racking to finally be at this step after so many steps of gathering info and documents. The staff were very professional yet also friendly.
