After reading recent reviews I noticed they still seem to be doing the first-come, first-served, I decided to get there early rather than the 20 minutes before appointment time. Arrived 6:50am, next to show up was Canadiandggal at 7:00.

Only a few people in line when the doors opened at 7:30 - they want your passport and interview letter out. Clipped letter 'A' to my letter. Went through security, down to the elevator, where he took A-D upstairs.

At 8am, was called up to window 11 (although my letter A said window 9) where nice blonde lady took original and copies of: birth cert, marriage cert, passport; originals only of police cert and photos. Sent to window 14a to pay fee (because I filed DCF), then back to window 11 for fingerprints, I-864, and 2009 taxes/transcripts.

Sat in waiting room for a few minutes, then called to room 7. Very nice petite blonde lady, we had what seemed like just a normal conversation, it didn't seem like ... read complete review

Hello all,
Ok I arrived at close to 7am and met up with Birdnerd and her father, what a nice gal. I had to run to timmies twice due to being extremely sick from nervousness. Finally at 730am which seemed to pass quickly as I was running back and forth. We were invited in one by one, I got letter B although it doesnt matter I think. We sat down and waited for the officer to come and take us upstairs, it was quick. Birdnerd was a pro at knowing everything to do. we were taken upstairs and told to wait to the far corner. I was called second to window 12, A wonderful nice lady was there, I gave her all the paperwork listed, then was told to go sit. I waited and waited till about 915am , all the other people who came up with me had gone and finally I was called back to window 12 because the lady forgot to do my fingerprints. Once again i was told to go sit down again, another 20 minutes and I was called into room 8. A fairly nice man was there, He asked me about where my husband w... read complete review

Andrew and I got into Montreal on Saturday and spent Saturday and Sunday doing some sightseeing/poutine eating.

We arrived at the Embassy on Monday morning (10/18) at about 6:40am--probably wayyyy too early (we were the only ones waiting there for quite a while). We met a really nice couple from Vancouver while we were waiting outside (I know they said they read VJ, but I don't know if they follow the forums. If so, hi!). A few other people got there at about 7:20 or so. Security started letting people in at about 7:30. We were the first ones through security (we brought literally nothing with us except our binders with the interview proof/docs) and got letter A. Security sent us down to wait for a guard to call our letter to be taken up to the 19th floor. At about 7:50 they took A, B, and C up the elevator. We got to another waiting room where we were told we'd be called to a window. Only about 15 minutes later, we were called to window 11, where a really nice lady aske... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Dave and I arrived in Trudeau Airport Dorval (YUL) within an hour of each other the day before his interview. We took the 747 Express (airport shuttle) from YUL to Rue Jeanne-Mance, then walked a block back and a block over to Hotel Le Dauphin Centre-Ville. The shuttle is $7 for a ticket good for 24 hours from the time you get the ticket. You can get tickets at the bureau de change in the airport, or pay all in coins when getting on the bus. Continental breakfast starts at 06:00, so plenty of time to check out, get breakfast, and get to the consulate.

We walked up to Complexe Desjardins (a mall) to get the Xpresspost envelope. The Canada Post in the mall is on the bottom level, easily found from signs in lime green. I knew we wanted the largest of 3 sizes, but when we got there were confused that there were a Regional and another envelope in that size. The other envelope was 2-day, for all of Canada. The Regional worked for us because Quebec-Ontario is one region... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My interview was very quick, smooth and easy After a long time of waiting for the date... Montreal finally pulled through! I planned to arrive at the Consulate at 6am so I could be first in line. I stopped at Tim Hortons and grabbed a coffee and chocolate croissant on the way (I took the metro and got off on Station Square Victoria). I was the only one there. It seemed that there were people waiting in cars in an outdoor lot around the corner though. I was alone for about an hour and then at 7am a few people started to arrive.. behind me was a family of 4 of which the wife and her two small children were also there for a CR-1 interview. At 7:30am the guard came out and opened the door, asked everyone to take out their interview letter and passport. I showed him mine and he gave me a card with the letter "A." We went through the security screening and then I was sent downstairs. As soon as I got there another security guard came down and I asked if there was a washro... read complete review
