The process at the consulate was extremely easy and painless! If you read other's reviews like I did prior to your interview, you will prepare yourself for the big day.

This is how the morning went:

1. Wife and I woke up at 5:45, got changed, and went downstairs for the complementary breakfast in our hotel the Embassy Suites.
2. 6:55 - Walked from the hotel to the consulate. 10 minute walk. (Extremely cold -18C)
3. First to the door, at 7:10.
4. A few others started to show up around 7:20.
5. Security guard opened the main doors at 7:30.
6. We were the first to enter, we proceeded through security, and left my remote entry for my car behind. They gave me a ticket to retrieve it on my way out. I was handed a packet, and on the top was a plastic letter "A". We then proceeded down the stairs and sat in the chairs in front of the elevator.
7. The security guard came down at 7:45, and called letters A-E. As we were A, w... read complete review

Overall the experience at Montreal went very well!
I got to the Consulate at 7:15am there was about 3 people in front of me in line.

7:30am, doors open and the security guard starts letting people in.
Then go thru security
Then I'm told to go downstairs and wait for a another security guard to take everyone upstairs.

Guards gets there at 7:45am and takes letters A-D up in the elevator

Ugh, we got an agent that was a absolute stickler on every issue! We had to leave the consultate and forward several more doc's for her approval( who cares if Luc broke his hand 30 years ago?!)..this added another 3 weeks to the waiting process.....

I arrived outside of the consulate at 6:35am. I know it was really early, but I didn't have a chance the night before to do my walk-around to make sure I knew where it was, and I wanted to be sure to allow time for myself to get lost along the way (which I now realize was pretty impossible from La Tour). No one else showed up until 7:15, but by the time the doors opened at 7:30 there were about a dozen people lined up. It was pooooouring rain, and I was the only one with an umbrella (I'd checked the weather report before leaving for Montreal the day before).

SECURITY:

The guard at the door was very brisk and serious. He unlocked the door and asked if he could help me. I said that I had an appointment today and showed him my interview letter and passport. He verified the date on the letter and looked at my passport, then asked if I had any electronics such as a cell phone on me. I said no. My documents and evidence were in a briefcase-style accordion folder... read complete review

The interview process was pretty smooth. Not too many questions. The main thing was that you can't bring a cell phone or a bag into the consulate at all. So, make sure you leave those in your car or at your hotel/home.
