Thanks for the good wishes everyone! My hubby and I arrived in Montreal.... there are very nice churches here....very beautiful!!

We also did a quick pass by the embassy to make sure we know where it is and everything. I was also wondering, does the acutual interview take place in a seprate room....or in front of other people, just standing infront of a booth or window?

Welcome to Montreal! It is indeed a beautiful place!

I believe, from reading other reviews, the interview takes place in front of a window, not a separate room. But I'm not entirely sure about this. I guess we'll see tomorrow laughing.gif
