I was there fairly early in the am and by then the main room was full. So I had to sit in the secondary waiting room. Secondary waiting room you may be thinking what's that ? Let me tell you, it's the room you wait in before you can get in the line to see the help desk attendant. So they can guide you with the proper documentation for waiting in the main waiting room to see someone. I was there a total of 5hrs so I could get a print out of my social security number on a government letterhead which took 10 min. They don't even issue a physical card ( budget cuts I'm assuming) but a piece of paper. Needless to say I'm not impressed at all.

It is a pretty central location, as if you are driving there is a paid parking lot, and if you are taking transit it is not that far to walk here. OK, that being all said to getting here, then the next question, yes you can book online for an appointment, that is also the best option is to book online, but if you like to roll the dice, and many of you do, well then the walk in option is here and I can say I am two-for-two for having an awesome experience, including the wait time. On my most recent visit, the line-up was pretty deep, but the people know exactly how to move the line-up. I honestly thought this was going to be a +2 hour process, and it wasn't. Right at the start when you come up to the third floor you will see a security guard who also guides you to the correct line-up, as you could be coming just to pick up your passport from here, or other odd inquiries. The main line-up is for the pre-screening, where the person who is working goes through your application and to make sure you have everything you need to get to the next step (signatures, photos, supporting documents) and then provides you with a slip and tells you to wait to watch your number to appear and go to the appropriate window. Once you are through this, the last part is easy, it really is just collecting payment. The biggest thing is, make sure you have the application filled out, and also the checklist of everything you need with the application, cause if not, you are slowing the whole process for you, and the people waiting behind you, as you will see the eyes roll.... especially when you are one of those people that comes well prepared. All-in-all my visit has been great, and the people here are good too.

Parking meters in Richmond and their metermaids. How is it that when I park a car, enter restaurant to get change for the meter and then come out and find a ticket on my windseild? Another incident and another and another. Not all by me of course, but boy are they ruthless. Seems like they weren't able to gouge the taxpayers enough that they need to take more money for having to redo No 3 road numerous times for nothing and then decide on the transit Canada line. Putting up the giant oval ice rink that is now losing money and so they have to charge for parking in their archaic designed parking lot. yeah, so it's a vent. Sorry, but I sure wish they would come up with a cellular payment option like they have in Vancouver. Yay to Vancouver for that! Boo to Richmond for not. Too bad there is no refund here. Can I do a recall on the government?

Still, it's the most direct way to central Richmond, though depending on where, say, more south, than this is it; otherwise, even heading to Boston Pizza/Price Smart, it's still better to drive past this bridge, to Westminster Hwy and make a left there, as well as to go Richmond Centre. Now when you get off the bridge, you're invited to a dizzying array of options; first off, now there's a full intersection light---no blinking type, folks, so it's not pedestrian controlled. Now you've got traffic action on your left, from the River Road (mostly likely merged fr Cambie Rd). And on your right, the Richmond Oval/T&T, and straight ahead, is more traffic from Westminster, cutting through to Alderbridge to get to T&T or Copa Cafe....see what I mean, it's action all right. Side note: this bridge actually links Sea Island (the airport, etc.) to actual inland Richmond, which is really Sea Island)....there's your history lesson of the day ;)
