For VISA interview:
1. Dress code – There is no dress code. My take is to be formal.
2. Now the temperature should be fine, when I went it was snowing and had an early morning interview. It was cold and freezing. Did not have my jacket, please take them. Had a wait time of 5 minute outside.

Question was pretty standard plus I have almost 20 years of experience, direct employee in a leading company and have a pretty large team in US (20 members).
I never gave a single line answer except for the first question.
1. Do you work for XYZ?
2. What is your role?
3. Who is your client?
4. What do you do for the client?
5. What is your position?
He looked at me and said it is approved.
The day I went almost all the interview was success except for a person who had only work contract for 3 months. Good luck guys!!

What to do in three days?
I went to Niagara. Had friend and they gave me couple of options, you can explore it.
1. Take Via Rail (if you book early they have a web deal)
2. Take the greyhound (online price is cheaper)
3. Rent a vehicle.
