Hey everyone! Currently at the Eaton Mall, leeching their internet. :D
My mother inlaw and I woke up about 5am. We stayed at the Delta Montreal, which was only a block or so from the Medisys Medical Clinic. At 6:45am, my MIL headed off the consulate while I headed to the Medisys building. I picked up my results without any problems, which was a big relief. They proceeded then to tell me that if there were any problems, they would have given me a call right away. (I didn't write a medical review since mine LITTERALLY mirrored La Souris's review. However, I forgot to mention that they are not testing for HIV anymore, but Syphilis)
So after picking up my results, I headed to the consulate. There were already 3 groups of people waiting. I met jmd77 and her fiance, another couple going for an IR-1 visa, and of course my MIL. They were all very friendly, and time flew by pretty quickly seeing as everyone was talking with everyone. Around 7am-7:15am is when the l... read complete review

We had our interview today and wanted to share our experience as we have monitored all of the reviews for sometime on VJ and found it to be very helpful. So we just want to thank those who updated this information and hope this helps some other people who will be having interviews in the future.
First of all, it was very cold (-9C) this morning and we decided to try to be there around 7am and not try to be letter A. We arrived around 7:10am and were fourth in line. Since they take A-E up the elevator in one group, this really is okay. They do go in the left door for the screening, so that was helpful to know when you line up. BTW, around 7:30ish there must have been about 25 people in the line. After clearing security when we were allowed to go inside, we were taken to the 19th floor as a group with A-E(we were E). We were upstairs around 8am. Everything you read as to the security screening (i.e. no phones, etc.) and the metal detector, and how helpful the screener... read complete review

We showed up at 1pm (both benefactor and fiancee) and after the usual security checks, we were shown up to the 20th floor, where we checked in with our paperwork which took about 10 minutes. There was a 40 minute wait before my fiancee was asked for her fingerprints and then another 20 minute wait until we were "interviewed". It was rather anti-climactic (not that I was complaining), as it was all done at a counter. The lady was very pleasant and having looked through our paperwork, she first asked her to swear an oath stating that everything that she had submitted as true and then asked 4-5 easy questions:
1. How did you meet ?
2. How/where did you meet your fiancee ?
3. How much does the benefactor earn (she asked this to me) ?
4. When did you get engaged ?
5. When are you getting married ?
6. Can I see evidence of relationship ? We showed her the photos that we had taken over the past 2 years
She then told us that the ... read complete review

Arrived at the consulate at about 7:10. There were already about 8 people there and no real clear line up. By 7:30, there were probably around 20 plus and people were trying to cut ahead of those who were waiting. I think a reason for this is that everyone gets an appointment letter saying they have an appointment at 8 and then get stressed about being late when they see all the people. So be prepared for people who eagerly want to get ahead of you. One hint is that when they open the doors, they ask that everyone line up single file to the left. So if people who are there early let others know, there can be a clear line up and maybe less confusion when the doors open. About 8 people were in front of me in line when I went in.
Once in, you go through the security. No electronics, no problems. Have your passport and appointment letter ready. I was told to go downstairs and then go to counter 14B when upstairs.
Then I waited in a waiting room downstairs. Onc... read complete review

We got there at around 6:45 this morning and Mathew decided to let me out so he could go park and I could go ahead and get in line. Well that would have worked out, except for the fact that he dropped me off ON THE WRONG STREET!!! There`s 2 canada tax buildings right next to each other and he dropped me off at the wrong one so I had to walk in the freezing cold and rain to the right one.
By the time we actually got there we were still the first in line, but I realized that I had my iPhone still so of course I had to make Mathew take it back to the car(good thing because there`s some parking on that same street. We paid $15 for the whole day). Then other people started to show up. It was seriously so cold that we were all huddled underneath the doorway, trying to stay dry and get protection from the wind. I started to get aggrivated though because it was like there wasn`t really a line since we were all huddled together, which would have made our efforts to get there earl... read complete review
