I looked and AirCanada came down a little too. For two it will be $580 with west jet and %40 w/AC.

Thanks again for everyone's help!

Well, just to update the quick but seemingly never ending saga. My fiancee is detremined to go on the 15. VIA isn't any cheaper than flying, however, AC flights have come down a little more, which helps. I know prices fluctuate, so we'll see what happens when she gets her ticket. In the meantime, I've looked on hotels.ca and found a few that are about 12-15 blocks from the consulat ranging from $80-$110 a night. If she flies, that reduces her nights in a hotel by quite a bit, since arrival/departure time isn't as much of a factor. It also reduces a night if she goes with them mailng the visa to her. It'd be nice to find a cheaper one with a shuttle, but at least hotels.ca has directions so you don't need to worry about being taken advantage of by a cab driver.

Thanks again for everyone's advice!

Just a thought, I always find booking directly through hotels to be cheaper than any of those travel sites. I just looked up the place I am thinking of staying at on hotels.ca, and it's $30 more than through the hotel site. I find this to be true of airfare too. It's worth at least checking to see what the hotels themself charge. Hope you guys can find a way to make the interview date work!

Just so you know, the desk for the shuttle is right when you come out of the baggage pickup at the airport. You may want to do some investigating and make sure that the hotels you are considering are on the shuttle route. A lot of the hotels around the consulate are. :)

No worry there because it's a flat rate between the airport and downtown: $35. :thumbs:

Thanks for the info on the shuttle. I thought particular hotels had their own shuttles. The cab info is good too.

As far as hotels.ca goes, their rates seemed cheaper than the hotel's website. I've asked my fiancee to call and try to negotiate her own rate.

Well, I guess it isn't as hard to change an interview date as we first thought. My fiancee emailed the consulate to simply ask about changing the date. She even stated that she didn't want to do this, but she was just asking what the possibilities were, and explained why. She was even decided on going next week. Well, the consulate replied and said her date was changed to December 14th. So there you go. We'll go to Monteral, maybe see the Habs and get the visa together.

Should I leave my timeline the same, or update it to show the new date?
