Overall the experience was better than I thought. I got to the embassy on a rainy morning at about 725am.Doors opened around 745am. Everyone on here said to get there so much earlier, but I didnt want to stand around, knowing no matter what I would be waiting inside eventually. I was 4th in line, and about 6 people came after. The first woman brough a carry on suitcase, so she had to leave and come back. Bumped me up to 3rd. I had my passport ready, and went through security, then down the steps to a dingy looking basement. I was given letter 'B' during the security check. About 5-10 mins later a guard came to take letters a-b which was myself and a couple. Then up we went to the 19th floor with a gorgeous view on Montreal. The guard was so friendly and sat us in an area near the left. I was called up about 20 mins later to give my paperwork. I was organized and prepped and even still the woman was a tad impatient. It was early on a Friday morning, so i'll let that pass. I sat down, called up again, paid at another window, sat again. Evenutally i had my interview in room 8, and that woman was so nice. It took about 10 mins.She asked how we met, what he does, what i want to do, etc. Then she welcomed me to the states. Then i hit the bathroom, which is close to the seating area if you need to run in while waiting, makes it quick and easy if youre stressed about missing your name called. I was done it all by 930am. It was quick and my best advice is to be organized as much as possible, and they'll be happy. I would say it was a painless experience for such a daunting task.
