The U.S. Consulate General in Calgary, Canada will be closed for visa appointments for the month of November 2014. The closure results from planned renovations to the facility.

Visa processing in Calgary is planned to commence as normal in December 2014.

For individuals in the Calgary area who require a visa to travel to the United States and who have plans on doing so during the holidays, GT strongly urges that you make an appointment during the month of October to ensure timely processing of your application in time for the holidays.
