US Visa Appointment Wait Times & Alerts in Canada (2026)
US visitor (B1/B2) visa appointments in Canada are among the longest-wait in the world right now. Across the Canadian posts we monitor, the earliest openly available date is consistently well over a year out, driven by heavy renewal demand including third-country nationals.

Common questions for Canada
Does VisaSlotWatch support Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver?
Yes. Canada uses the AIS scheduling portal, and these Canadian posts are included in the country monitoring setup.
Must I already have an appointment?
Yes. Book any available appointment on the official AIS portal first, then use VisaSlotWatch to monitor for an earlier eligible date.
Can I monitor several Canadian posts?
Yes. You can select multiple eligible posts in your monitoring rules when your AIS account and fee rules allow those locations.
Must my computer remain running?
Yes. Monitoring and Power automation run in your active browser session, so Chrome and the scheduling session need to stay active.
