I have nothing but amazing things to say about all the staff at the Montreal consulate. They were patient, helpful and very effective at their jobs.
I arrived at the consulate at about 7:30 and was the 7th person for the K-1 process. I was out of the consulate by 9:30am!
The questions were straight forward and the interview lasted only 2.5 minutes.
A few things to note - the fee is $131.00. A lot of people thought it was $100 but they have raised it. They will NOT accept any Canadian cash.
No electronics, big bags or food and drink are allowed inside. They are very very serious about this.
As i said though, everything turned out great and I got approved on the spot!
The consulate in montreal gets a 10 on 5 from me, a great experience!

Copying and pasting from the forums:
kay the question here is how much to type.
We stayed at the Hyatt hotel, because they said it was close (two blocks, no issues) The hotel was pricey, but then they had lots of little extras and I LOVED the steam room and the pool was very nice. Included a breakfast buffet that had the "pain au chocolate" which is a crossont (spelling) with choclate in it. It was also attached to a mall so we did not have to go outside in the winter if we did not.
Taxis we know are $35 from the airport. (Most take visa)
So the day of the interview, I have gotten a few hours sleep, thinking that I would not get up in time, I set the alarm clock, had a wake up call, and the cell phone.
We were there at 6:30 (I really wanted to be first) and we were. The others that came arrived just after 7 (like 2 mins after)
Doors opened at 7:30, go through security. As you know you get the car... read complete review

Ok so we left Brampton around 11 am on Thursday and arrived in Montreal around 6 pm..made a couple of stops along the way.. after seeing all signs turn to French when we crossed in Quebec we were so glad we had our GPS!..we drove right to the Hôtel La Tour Centre-Ville, hotel was fine..location is what sold us.. across the street from the Consulate...perfect..especially in the winter...no snow, but man it was cold!.. After getting checked in and getting our cats settled we were too tired to do any sightseeing..had some dinner, watched Ugly Betty..LOL..made some phone calls, went over all the paperwork AGAIN and went to bed...
Got a wake up call for 530 am but we were both up by 5am anyway...Barry headed out to locate the Consulate and to find a Tim Hortons (had to have a coffee!!), luckily he found both.. We walked over to the Consulate at 7am (we were 2nd in line) and waited for them to open up at 730...It was a very cold morning and I think they maybe had some sympath... read complete review

We arrived at the Consulate at about 12:15ish and the security guard told us to come back at about 12:50 (our interview was at 1pm). We hung out across the street for a bit at a restaurant.
Went back to the consulate at about 12:45pm and went through the first security check (no line up outside). They security guards were really nice. After security, we went up a flight of stairs to an elevator. A man took us to the 20th floor where we went through security again. We were told to sit down and that we would be called to window B shortly. There was only one other girl (K3) in the waiting room. When i was called to the window a very nice lady took in all of my checklist docs (originals and copies). We were told to sit down and wait for finger printing and our interview. About 30 min later I was called for fingerprinting then told to sit and wait for my interview. The other girl was called for her interview first. Her case was very complicated so her interview took forever ... read complete review

Fairly straightforward. People there were friendly. Can be a bit of a wait once you get upstairs. Remember not to take any cell phone/page, etc. They will ask you a few questions about your relationship with your fiance. Examples:
Where did you meet?
What was your age when you met him/her?
Bring a few photos or any travel documents. Also if you were born in BC make sure your birth certificate is the newer form that includes your mother and father's names on it. The older one or the pocket form will not be accepted.
