Directions from YUL airport to Dr. Howard Seiden's ?office

[bighman 0]

Hey everyone, I am arriving in Montreal on Monday and was wondering whats the best way to get to Dr. Howard Seiden's office from the airport? Their address is 5345, boul. de l'Assomption. I'm arriving around 730am, and my appointment is at 10am. So I know I'll be in rush hour, but what are my alternatives to a cab?

Metro or bus but taxi is your best bet.

The bus is horrible in rush hour.

Metro (subway) all the way. Convenient, fast and reliable. Forget about cab/bus. Horrible in traffic downtown.

I ended up having to take a cab because flight was delayed leaving Calgary by 30 minutes. The cab ride from airport to Assumption Blvd was maybe 30 mins, and cost $60 ($55 fare + $5 tip)

Taxi from airport to downtown is $38 incase anyone plans to take a cab from airport to any of the hotels downtown...

Medical is done...ready to be picked up 230pm on Wed...and then interview Thursday at 8am... I'm going to do a reconnaisance tonight on where the consulate is and which doors to go stand in front of...

From my Montreal consulate review:

"The consulate is this big gray building with dark windows. It's on the corner of Boulevard Rene-Levesque and Rue Saint Alexandre. The entrance is on the side street (Rue Saint Alexandre), not on the main street. The entrance is two big glass double doors with the American crest on them. It lists the hours and what items are permitted inside (no cell phones, electronic devices, etc.) Don't bring anything you don't need! Just the paperwork and maybe some spare money and/or cards in your wallet."

Hope that helps! Good luck!

I found the 3 day metro passes to be a great deal.

It covers the 747 bus from YUL to the first exit, right on the metro station. Take the metro to near dr seidens office, cant remember the exit, then back to your hotel. Metro to interview, back to hotel, metro to 747, back to airport.

I hope you dont expect the medical results from Dr Seidens office the same day. We had to wait 4 days for ours. And barely got it the day before the interview.

EDIT: read further. My medical was supposed to be done on wed, but they delayed it a full day. Make sure you call them before heading to pick it up
