Followed Visa Journey instructions and had a positive experience. Stayed at Phillip Square, nice but expensive, around the corner from the consulate. The restaurant attached to the hotel was less than wonderful and would not go back for a second meal.
Arrived at Medisys on Monday and they had documents ready by Wednesday afternoon when I came back to pick them up. Thursday at 7 am, I was first in line at the consulate and met another wonderful and interesting member from Visajourney.com. The line was short that day so we were processed without much wait and hassle at all. Everyone in the embassy was open and friendly. With documents in order and a short interview, I was out the door within an hour and then back on the train for home.
We spent 5 days in Montreal because of the Medical and wait for medical documents and then the Visa interview itself. Our hotel was over $200 a night but near the end of our stay we found other hotels, including the Maritimer for less than 1/2 especially if you go through priceline, expedia etc to book your room. Montreal is a friendly, and facinating place to visit so the stay was like a little vacation. Be sure to go to Old Montreal if you have time.
