Montreal K-1 Visa Appointments
Short answer
What If Montreal Shows No Appointments?
If you are eligible to schedule and have followed the current instructions, an empty calendar may simply mean no bookable appointment is visible at that moment.
Recent Reddit discussions in 2026 include Montreal applicants describing frequent checking and asking whether there is a predictable release time. Other applicants reported that openings eventually appeared, but the reports do not establish a guaranteed schedule.
When Does Montreal Release K-1 Appointments?

Can Montreal Cancellations Appear?
They can become visible through the scheduling system.
The K-1 Visa Appointment Monitor has been tested with a Montreal cancellation opening that was subsequently booked successfully by the applicant.
