My appointment is for 9:30, and I'm just wondering if it's still worth lining up at the doors before they open.

I recall reading in a recent interview review that it still was first come, first served.

I found it, here's the link to their review. Montreal Review

Hi,

On Wednesday they opened the door at 7:30 we were there at 6:30 and left as it was cold and dark and no one was there. We went and grabbed a coffee and croissant at the Green Cafe (a 3 minute walk) http://www.greencafe.ca/ Was great food and coffee there and close.:thumbs:

We got back at 7:15 and were 2nd in line. The person who interviewed us said it was good to come early. We were done by 9 am first outta there!:dance:

All the best to you!:)
