Attention applicants trying to schedule an appointment in the U.S. Consulate in Quebec City.

Temporary recommendation: Please select Consulate General Montreal as the post for your interview because the Consulate in Quebec City does not have available appointments at this time.


Most Canadian citizens can travel to the United States using only a valid passport and do not require a visa. Before proceeding, please read Do I Need to Apply? to be certain that you need to pay the application fee and apply for a visa.

Please note the following:

  • All fees paid within this site are non-refundable.
    • If you have already made a payment, please do not submit your credit card information a second time or you will incur another charge.
  • A visa does not guarantee entry into the U.S.
    • A visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to the United States port-of-entry and request permission to enter the U.S from a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official.
  • You may not enter the U.S. with a visa that has expired. The CBP official at the port-of-entry will determine how long you may remain in the United States when you enter.

The first question on the DS-160 form asks where you will submit your application. Make sure that the city you pick is where you plan to schedule your visa interview. If the two cities do not match, you may experience delays on the day of your interview and you may have to complete a new DS-160 form.
