Okay.. where to begin, its been a crazy weekend....
We left from Edmonton via Greyhound bus to Vancouver on friday the 8th at 8:00PM for our 18hr bus ride lol. We checked into the Barclay hotel (1348 Robson street) it was only 59/night for a small room wtih the essentials.. tv, shower, bed, etc.. but no phone use, theres a pay phone in the lobby... the most important thing for us was a key and lock. we planned on staying at a hostel, but it was risky.. anyways..
Day of the interview, we took a 5 dollar cab ride from the hotel to the consulate... which is actually the Manulife Place Building on 1075 W. Pender street. Its a brown glass building, nothing special. WE SAW KEANU REEVES WALKING DOWN THE SAME STREET WE WERE WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE CONSULATE ON SUNDAY!!!.
We got to the consulate around 12:20 for the 1:00 interview, the security guard let us in because it was so cold and rainy outside... did the usual security check then was lead... read complete review

The trip was very long..it was almost 7 hours from Toronto to MOntreal. Al and I had never been to MOntreal before and the place is like a total foreign place for us. Oh well, we got lost for at least 3 times till we find the Hotel.
Was up 5:45am Feb 01, 2008. Had a quick breakfast and left the hotel 7:10am.
Got there first at the embassy,yet being called third for the interview..I believe because my appointment was scheduled on 9:30am.
Questions were so easyyyyyy...we were asked the usual questions of how did we meet? where to stay when we get to the US? When is the wedding plan? What will I do when I get there?
For the record I will say its so easy...stressed and nervousness I had bef0re the interview were all wasted. We didnt even asked even a single letter or any other forms except for my Birth Certificate, police clearance, picture & passport.

So my husband's flight got changed the eve of our interview because they thought he was going to miss it and gave his spot to a standby. So he got in at Montreal at about 2:00am. We then had to go downtown where we stayed(and are staying until Sunday). We rented a room at Quality Hotel on Ave. du Parc.
So, we were able to sleep about 2 hours. At 6:40 we headed out and walked to the Consulate. Somehow, I got us lost.... but we stopped at the Hyatt hotel and got directions and everything was good with the world again. When we got there, it was maybe 5-10 minutes past 7:00 and there was only one woman there before us. They opened the door at about 7:25(yay cuz it was cold), and they proceeded to check our stuff. We had to take off our coats, and empty our pockets. We didn't have any bags, just the paperwork in a plastic bag as suggested here on VJ. We were given the little card with the letter B(window 9). We went through the metal detector one at a time. I made it ring b... read complete review

Office/admin staff was wonderful and pleasant.
Once in with the CO, I was put immediately through the wringer.
It all went fine although quite unnerving. (see full review on VJ)
The whole process was quick.

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!
