I can\'t believe the time has come where I actually get to write one of these. I just got back from my interview in Montreal and I want to write down everything before I crash and forget it all!
My interview was at 1:45 but I showed up at the doors at 7am. I was the third person in line. The doors opened at 7:30 and the man at the door asked for my Packet 4 letter and my passport. Once he went over that, I went inside and was met by security. I had to hand over my paperwork, my bag, and my sweater and walk through the metal detector. After that, was given all of my belongings back and told to go downstairs and wait by the elevator.
Got downstairs and was only person down there. We waited until 8am when the elevator opened and we lined up. We went to the other side of the elevator, they packed us in like sardines, and off we went to the 19th floor. Once up there, a woman greeted us and asked to see confirmation letters and passports before we were instructe... read complete review

I had my interview on May 4th 2011. Overall the whole experience was pretty decent and painless. Just a lot of waiting!
I stayed at the Marriott Chateau Champlain, about 2 or 3 blocks away. Super nice hotel. I took as a cab to the consulate as it was raining and I was worried I would get lost. I arrived a little after 7 am. I was about 3rd in line. There was a family of about 4 or 5 in front of us, Canadiana013 and her fiancee, and a guy slightly older than me. They opened the doors at about 7:30 am, and were told to move back. The family was blocking the doors. They had bags and a stroller and were asked to move aside. The mother took the small child out of the stroller and took the stroller back to the hotel. After they were put aside to reorganize themselves, they let us through. I showed them my Packet 4 letter but they wanted the printout of my interview date and time with the confirmation number. I took that out and they checked it against a list. My... read complete review

First, compared to what we read about other Consulates, Vancouver is awesome! We requested to submit package 3 via email and they did so, speeding up the process significantly. We scheduled our interview withing 3 weeks of submitting package 3, so that was quick. We scheduled the medical on a Wednesday and interview the next day. Please note there is no package 4 anymore except the email receipt you get from CSC once you book online and pay fee. Arrived at Woking around 530AM and found another VJer waiting  What a small world! We were the first 2 in line and Woking staff arrived about 615AM and they instructed everyone to try and stay in the order you arrived in. However, once the gates were opened, everyone had to pile into the elevator and a few folks took advantage and cut into line.  Us VJers stood strong and kept our 1&2 spots, though Very efficient after that and we were out in less than 2 hours. We had our intervi... read complete review

My whole Vancouver experience was great!
First, I had my Medical Appt. at Woking Medical, on Wednesday. My mom and I arrived at the the clinic at about 5 am. We parked right next to the clinic, in the parking spots right off of the street...but beware it is expensive! We bought 5 hrs and it cost $30!
We waited until one other couple got in line, about 5:20, and then we got in line too. They were from VisaJourney also! So it was nice to be able to talk to someone and compare experiences. About 20 mins later, more people started to show up and the line got quite long, so I was glad we got there when we did. At about 6:15, two ladies showed up to open the gates and let us in. They told us to remain in line, however quite a few cut the line! (People can be so rude.) We took an elevator up into the main waiting room. The couple in front of us were still able to get No. 1, and he was nice enough to grab us No. 2 before anyone else did. We went back to our seats and then... read complete review

Overall, I'd say my experience at the consulate was very good. I arrived in Montreal the day before the interview and took the 747 bus from the airport to downtown. The fare is $8 and your ticket is valid for 24 hours (you can use it in the metro too, or on other buses if you need to go somewhere else).
My fiancé and I walked to the consulate from our hotel. When we arrived around 7am, there was a family of 5 in front of us. By 7:30am, there were about 10 more people behind us. The family of 5 was standing right in front of the door, instead of to the left of the door. The guard didn't seem to like that very much and told them to move back before he opened the door. They also had a stroller and a large backpack, so the guard told them to bring their things back to their hotel and then come back. They seemed a little confused, so he made them move aside. So my fiance and I became the first people in line. I showed my passport and packet 4 letter, but he wante... read complete review
