We arrived really, really early.. 9:20 - Our appointment was at 10 am, and the confirmation even says not to come more than 20 minutes early, but we did, and it was DEAD, so the agent looked through our bags and let us go in early, giving us a 9:30 appointment.
We were the only K applicants there, and the security guards and interviewers were all very friendly. Having my fiance there was key, apparently. Not only would they have probably made me wait until 10 without him, but he was allowed to come right in with me. Once I was called up to the window, they let him come with me, and he just sat right behind me while I was interviewed. I was nervous, and I stuttered a little at first, but the agent didn't even bother trying to trick me with oddly phrased questions, or bother digging into the nature of our relationship. Bringing a fiance with you to a K interview is pretty much a guaranteed yes, and he only asked what he was legally required to. I think I was asked maybe te... read complete review

My husband and I had some difficulty locating the consulate at first. The door is on the a side street and quite inconspicuous. We finally arrived at 7:15am with only one woman waiting ahead of us. At 7:30, a guard unlocked the door. The woman ahead of us was denied entry because she had a large bag of documents. Advice: Don't bring a bag, hand carry everything! Passing through security, we hung a left and went down the stairs into a waiting room. As we waited, people slowly started to pour in.
At 8:00, myself and the woman who had been ahead of me (who had ditched her bag somewhere) were led into an elevator. We were welcomed by the receptionist and asked to get in line to pick our number. I got my number (C2) and sat down in the middle of the room (the immigrant visa section). To the left of me many people were being seated (the work visa section). There was only myself and the woman ahead of me for the Spousal Visa. At 8:15 the lady ahead of me was called. After she ... read complete review

Well, it's done and approved!!! 
Today I had my CR1 interview in Montreal.
I showed up at the consulate at around 7:10 and there were already about 5 ppl in front of me. At 7:30 they opened the doors to start security (note: bring as little as possible, no fluids, phones etc), after security, we were sent downstairs into a waiting room. There is a photo booth in case you forgot to bring yours (also, they ask for a 2x2 picture, but a standard size passport picture is fine also). After about 15min of waiting in that room with about 30 others, a security guard came and asked for people applying for immigration visas to follow him into the elevator. The elevator went upstairs to a main room. Once there, we were asked to stand in a line and they would give us a number, and we would sit down in the middle of the room and wait for our number to be called. The first time I was called (10 min from sitting down), it was for finger prints and giving them my pictur... read complete review

Let me start by thanking everyone who had posted their reviews and suggestions for others to follow. Thank you visa journey for helping us through this long journey.
Here is my review:
Flew from Vancouver to Montreal the day before and went to find exactly where the consulate was. We stayed at Days Inn, which is about 5 blocks away from the consulate.
We arrived at the consulate at 6.30 am and were first in line. A girl for K1 came along with her mother. But about at 7 people started to come in and the line got longer and longer. At 7.30 the guards opened the door and asked for confirmation letter and passport for everyone. After going through the security (like at airport) we went down the stairs and sat in the chairs left of the elevator. We were in the room for about 25 minutes after which a guard came by and took us all up who were applying for the immigrant visas.
Once up in the main room on 19th floor, we formed... read complete review
