I had my medical and interview all on the same day so I was worried about how that would all work but it is fine, plenty of time for both.
I arrived extra early to the consulate, waited to go in, they need 2 security guards before allowing people in. I was escorted to the 20th floor, told to wait until my name was called to window B, about 20 minutes. Once called to window B, I was asked for all my documents, she gave me a sheet and said she needed everything in this order, sent me to the cashier to pay my $350.00, went back to window B with the receipt. She looked it over then told me to have a seat and once she made sure everything was here I could go back and get my medical results and come back for my interview, she even offered to keep my extra stuff there until I got back so it was less for me to worry about. I had a huge folder full of pictures, extra copies of stuff, anything I thought I might need for the interview.
There was only 1 other pers... read complete review

Sorry this is so late - life has been whirlwind lately. My interview was at 8am on Wednesday, November 10th. Arrived at consulat at 7:20am, third in line. Doors opened at 7:30am. Brought in and scanned and sent to sit in adjacent room. "Guard" comes in about 10 minutes later and ushers us all into elevator. Sent to the far right (from the elevator) to wait for our names to be called. Called to window 12. Handed over all required documents (she didn't ask for any copies of forms already submitted, nor of proof of relationship). Sent back to wait. Called back to window 12 for fingerprinting. Sent back to wait. Called about 3 minutes later to room 3 (i think!). Young, happy, gentleman working there. Made if VERY comfortable. Entire interview took about 5 minutes. Back in hotel by 9am and on the road for the 12 hr drive back by 9:30.

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
