Visas

Important notice
Beginning October 22, 2008, all applicants applying for nonimmigrant visas in Montreal and Vancouver must use the new DS-160 application form, which is accessible on https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/.

After completing the new DS-160, the applicant will electronically submit the application and will be provided with a confirmation page that includes only limited biographical information and a bar code. Applicants must bring this confirmation page with them to their interview. Please note: if the online application has not been completed fully and properly the applicant’s case cannot be processed and a new interview appointment will be required.

This first pilot version of the DS-160 will only be available in English. Future versions will allow the user to see translations of the site in other languages, including French.

Important notice
Please be advised that the consular section will be closed to the public on the third Wednesday of every month for staff development. This includes the visa unit, american citizen services and notarial services. No items will be available for pick up.
Services will resume the next business day.
If there is an Emergency regarding a U.S. Citizen please call 604-685-4311.
We regret any inconvenience.
PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
