It was cold in Montreal. My fiance came to the interview with me, we were the first ones standing at the door. some others showed up just before the doors were opened. we went through security without any problems and we were led up to the 18th or so floor of the building. We sat in a large area and waited for our name to be called it didn't seem to matter that we were there first, as the couple behind us was called up ahead of us. and then we were called, we went back down this little hall to a group of windows like you would see at a small bank. with bullet proof glass and a little pass through slot, they took my finger prints, gave us a card to go and pay for the process and then we returned to the waiting room. as we sat back down another person had shown up, she was called back almost instantly. As we waited for the next step I felt dismay at the time it was taking. the couple that showed up after us was called back again. and after about five minutes came out they had been accep... read complete review

First, a bit of context. I (Jeremy) am the sponsor and my Canadian wife Kathy and son Adam had their interview on November 12, 2010.
On the day of our interview we decided to take the advice of others and we showed up at the Montreal consulate at 6:30am. TOTALLY UNNECESSARY! There was nobody else there until 7:00 and by the time that they opened the doors at 7:30 there were only 2 other groups in line. I could have been asleep an extra hour! That being said, it was very busy by 9:15am when we left.
When the guards opened the doors, the first thing he told me is that I couldn't bring in my small briefcase (containing all our files) and I had to take it back to my car. So the two other groups in line went in ahead of us anyways!! Once inside, we went through security screening without any problems. The guards were very rude and it was unpleasant the way they treated people during the screening. Within 5 minutes we were up the elevator to the main co... read complete review

My interview was on November 16th, 2010 at 11am.
I got there around 10:15, entered the building, went through security (it's pretty much the same security type than at any airport) and took the elevator up to the 19th floor. If you have a cell phone, it will be taken away from you and given back to you when everything will be over. Same for food (unless you are diabetic I think) and probably for beverages too. There are vending machines in the waiting room (chocolate bars, chips, cookies, coffee, soft drinks and water).
There you will receive a number and you wait until they call it (they called mine about 30 minutes later). You go to a window and handle the documents that are asked by the officer who is behind a glass. After checking the documents, the officer sent me to the cashier pay my visa ($350, cash only) and I came back right away for finger prints. I sat back in the waiting section, waiting for my interview, this is then the last part of the p... read complete review

YOU ARE A BLESSING TO THIS SITE AND TO ME AND TO MY FAMILY!!!!!
We arrived at 7am, at the infamous line where many have stood shoulder to shoulder before us and many will stand again. We were the 2nd in line, behind a family of four. My Dear Husband took the initiative to remain in the line, so that I could fetch us 2 double doubles from Canada's favorite coffee hub; Timmies. As I returned he was speaking to a couple, who later realized were sitting next to each other for the physical earlier this week, in Toronto. The couple als... read complete review

Hi...
My interview was on Tuesday, Nov. 9th and my medical was the next day. This was not a problem, just meant a trip back to the consulate to drop things off.
I found both the interview and the medical to be a lot more of the "hurry up and wait" that we have all come to love so much!
For me the most stressful part was simply getting all my documents out and praying I had everything as they wanted. I was missing and ORIGINAL of my Divorce certificate which had me really ticked with myself but was an easy enough fix as I simply ordered another copy for $20. It did mean that I won't get my visa for another week but no extra trip or interview or "review process."
The interview itself was good. The interviewer was very pleasant, even a little chatty so I felt at ease.
I am so relieved it is over. On to planning for the next immigration hurdle.
If you are needing a place to stay, I would recommend s... read complete review
