My husband and I attended his CR1 visa interview in Montreal on September 8, 2008. The folks at the consulate were clear, to the point, and generally easy to deal with. It's an intimidating process, so naturally we were nervous, but everything went off without a hitch.
A couple of points of preparation, even though it's all been said before elsewhere on VJ: don't bring a big bag -- they won't allow it inside. Cell phones and any other electronics will have to be left at the security desk. They don't allow food or drink from outside. However, there are water fountains and vending machines in the waiting room, so bring some change if you think you might get thirsty or hungry. Be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting (I recommend bringing something to read because the reading material in the waiting room will put you right to sleep: the books on American Literation and History look like they were published in the 1970s).
We stayed at Le Dauphin, which was a great and inexpensive hotel less than a five minute walk from the consulate. I definitely recommend it.
All in all, it was a positive experience and I have no complaints!
