Appointment was Sept 18th 2023.
A few weeks ago I got an email with a different appointment time, so this morning I went at the first appointment time and asked which one I should attend since I didn't want to miss it! The guard at the door said come back at 1045 which was the time in the most recent interview update. I grabbed breakfast and went back to the hotel to chill.
At 1045 I was back at the consulate and checked in. The guy at the door checks you off a list, you go through the door and a person immediately to the right checks your passport, gives you a ticket with your appointment number on it and then you go through security and put your phone in a tiny locker and then go up the elevator.
Once there I was immediately called into a room and asked for:
My birth certificate
Marriage certificate
My husband's 2022 taxes
My RCMP check
Passport Photo
Passport
(I had a folder of 20 other things so I was surprised that's all he wanted)
They asked about my address, my husband's address, phone number, where I would be living. And then had me sit back down and wait for the interview.
About 20 mins later I was called to a different portal with a different person who asked:
My husband's full name
How we met
What our wedding was like
What my husband does for work
After that, she told me her system was down but she intends to set me for approval and I should have my stuff back in 2-3 weeks. I was there for less than an hour, I was surprised at how quick it was! The next day I flew back home, and on arrival I had two messages on my phone saying my passport was being sent back to me and a tracking number. When I looked up my status, it said issued.
