Canada US Visa Policy Update: Appointment Limit Reduced from 8 to 3

Following the recent introduction of a separate appointment channel for PR holders, the Canada US visa system has implemented another major change!

Confirmed: The appointment limit for US visa interviews in Canada has been reduced from 8 to 3!

What Does This Mean?

Previously, you had 8 chances to book, cancel, or reschedule. Now you only have 3!

Consequences: Once you've used all your attempts, your account will be locked. Your only options are:

  • Attend your interview on the currently scheduled date
  • Or pay the $185 visa fee again

Important: If you've already used 3 attempts before this change, you can no longer reschedule!

What Counts as an Attempt?

Every action counts toward your limit:

ActionCounts?
ScheduleYes (1 attempt)
CancelYes (1 attempt)
RescheduleYes (1 attempt)

How to Adapt

  1. Plan carefully — Think before each booking to avoid wasting attempts
  2. Confirm dates first — Don't just grab any slot; make sure the date works
  3. Use professional tools — Let automated monitoring find your ideal date for a one-shot success

Recent Policy Trends

US visa application and booking policies have been getting stricter:

  • Separate appointment channel for PR holders
  • Tighter appointment limits
  • TCN policy adjustments

Make every appointment count. Good luck!
