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

I’ve been waiting months to write this review, and now I finally can! ^_^
So, I got up at 5:15am this morning. Didn’t get much sleep. Only about 2 hours. Couldn’t stop thinking about the interview and what questions I would be asked. I somehow managed to get dressed this morning, do my hair and makeup, and remember to bring everything I needed to. Phew!
My father and I left at 5:45am and got to the consulate faster than I thought as there was no traffic. My dad dropped me off at the front of the building at 6:30am and he went off to Tim Horton’s to wait for me there. I was the first one at the consulate!
I was pretty much all alone waiting by the side doors for about 30 minutes until fellow VJ member Minted7 arrived with her husband. A couple of people arrived soon thereafter and within the next 30 minutes, the line got pretty long, maybe 15-20 people.
Around 7:30am, the lights inside turned on and I spotted 3 guards. ... read complete review

I thought I would write this while it was still fresh in my mind. I arrived in Montreal yesterday April 26th. I took the 747 express bus from the airport to a block from the hotel. This bus is very easy to take and costs $8. If you return within 24 hours your return is free. Just keep the little ticket that they give you. I stayed at La Tour Centerville that is across the street from the consulate. It is not a 5 star hotel by any means but it served it's purpose. They were having trouble with their wireless internet so I didn't have that or the higher channels on the tv. I could watch the hockey game though....I was hoping for Boston.... The room I had was a small suite. It had a kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom and bathroom. I fell asleep on the sofa, so I can't even tell you what the bed was like.
So I got up around 5:30. Got ready to go. Left the motel room exactly 6:30am. Walked across the street and around the corner to the co... read complete review

We were scheduled for 8am. Got to the Consulate at 7:30, doors opened approx. 10 min later, went through security, then - downstairs. Spent about 15 min waiting for the guide to come down and let us into the elevator. Went upstairs, got our number. Same procedure as described by many reviewers. Interview itself was 5 min, more like a small talk while the officer went though our file. Just a couple of things I want to mention:
1. If you filed electronically, fill out your DS-230 in advance - it'll save you time in the Consulate.
2. If you're filing both CR-1 and CR-2 bring your custody papers; in our case they didn't mark them on the list of what to bring but asked for them at the interview (I had them just in case).
So this step is over (relief), now waiting for our passports to arrive.
Good luck everyone!
