Montreal Interview Review

Interview process went as expected. We stayed at Days Inn. Parking per day was $20 dollars. Since we drove from London to Montreal we thought it was best to arrive a day earlier than scheduled because it made the trip less stressful than it already was. I highly suggest a GPS if you don’t speak French because everything is in French. It seems that everyone on the forum mentions lining up early in the morning is best however our experience was that you just stand in the cold until 7:45 when the doors open and once you are let in the people who waited the longest got shuffled around anyway due to the elevator. Our guess is that if you line up early and try to adjust yourself in the elevator properly you might save yourself 15-20 minutes of waiting depending on how long the line is however like mentioned above you will spend an hour or longer in the cold outside. Another tip is that you don’t need a lawyer to do the paper work for you. If you read the government documents and use visa journey as a guide anyone can complete the process on their own given time. The questions were typical dealing with how our relationship began, work, and plans for the future. (Don’t be like Sir Robin and assume you will get easy questions though… Monty python joke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b4bGAoVR7g)

The photo album wasn't even asked for although my fiancee wanted to show the pictures anyway after we were approved :-P. In conclusion, visa journey made the process much easier and is a comprehensive guide to the government documentation.

Nope, We had a nice interviewer , he was from Colombia , It was fun for me since i started to speak a little spanish since i am from Peru.

The interview was the easiest part of all. The hardest i would say to stand in the cold for almost an hour. I felt to faint since my blood pressure was dropping too low.
