Which U.S. consulate to apply at?

[GCGiveMeMy]

My friend is a Canadian citizen, recently retired and has been living in India in part (filing taxes there) and has been staying in the US recently on a B-2. He does not have a residence in Canada and is planning to invest in a business and wants to apply for a E2.

He has been advised that a consulate interview is inevitable if he ever leaves the US. So, my friend wishes to know whether he can pick a consulate in Canada of his choice to apply for an consular appointment to be granted the E2. The waiting time for an appointment at Toronto or Montreals is roughly 42 business days, while at Ottawa it is 14 days and Halifax it is 5 days. Ideally he would like to apply at Halifax. Can he do so?

Thanks,
GMMGC

Not all US consulates in Canada deal with E-2 visas. First confirm that the consulates he is targetting do deal with E-2 visas.
