MTL Interview

[BH45 0]

Well, my daughter and I will be going to the interview on Feb 1/08. I have booked our room at Tour Centreville for the 31st of Jan. We will be flying in order to get home in time for her other commitment.

My letter states that our interview is at 9:30 a.m. If we go to the consulate at 7 a.m., we should get through prior to that, right?????? I'd like to have an idea so I could book our flights. I'm hoping to be able to catch the 11 a.m. flight home.

Am I dreaming in technicolor or is this a possibility?

Gonna be very tight. If you line up at 7, they'll let you in at 8ish. Getting out by 9:30? I saw one couple do it but it is mighty dicey. Most people got out by noon. Montreal morning traffic was bad, assuming you're taking a cab to the airport, you'll be in for a crawl. 11 AM is doable but requires the confluence of several favourable factors (quick interview, fast processing, no traffic delays). Don't bet on making an 11 AM flight, 2PM is much safer.

oooooooooo I wouldn't risk it! Take the later flight.

book a later flight, the process isn't that quick even if you get their early. in my experience, it takes longer if you have more than one applicant.

my interview was for 9, got there at 8. first call wasn't till 10, i got out at 12:30.

go with the 2pm flight.

From my experience, leave room on either end.. My flight was cancelled due to a snowstorm and i luckily made it to the appointment in time (was scheduled to fly in a day early - ended up flying in the morning of).. Remember.. it's winter and the weather is unpredictable.

I'd book the later flight as well. as a Native Montrealer, I've learnt not to trust our traffic or weather conditions.

BTW, see you there - Evan & I have our interview scheduled for 8 a.m.

I also think that an 11am flight would be way too risky...I would go for a 2 or 3 pm flight if possible..Let us know what you decide to do.

ya, its probably a 30 minute drive from downtown to the airport, if bad weather even longer!!

I was there at 6:50. Made first in line

was done at 9:00

To add even more to this dilema, I found out today that I have minor exploratory surgery scheduled for Jan 31 in the morning......

Beginning to wonder if things are working against me here.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Best of luck at the surgery!!!!
