I am hoping someone can help me.I have my interview next Wednesday in Montreal at 7:40 and I was wondering how long they usually take. I have heard they are not long but want to know I would be okay to book at train home at 11:50am.

Thank you,

Amy

It is still first come, first serve I believe? I did mine in November and that's certainly how it was. Also, I re-read my interview review and I was actually there at 7! There were about 10 people in front of me but only four out of the 10 were there for K1. Either way, you will make your train but my advice is get there as early as you can to avoid sitting around for too long. Good luck!

Yes it is first come first serve - for my 7:40am appointment I got there at 7am with one other K-1 interviewee in front of me. When you go in, wait in a seat closest to the elevator, and then once the elevator opens, wait near the back doors, as they are the ones that open when you get to your floor. I was the first one called to the window and second to be interviewed and was out by 9am. Good luck :)
