For Airdrie applicants in Alberta, the supplied centre list offers a closer western option in Vancouver, while additional supported entries are listed in Toronto. The nearest listed centre is the VFS Global Vancouver Visa Application Centre at Unit 440, 580 Hornby Street. Vancouver also has an Italian consulate option, and Toronto has Spain and Germany entries. This guide maps the destinations to those centres, explains the estimated driving figures, and stresses the jurisdiction checks that should come before booking.
The VFS Global Vancouver Visa Application Centre is the nearest supported centre in the Airdrie list. Its supplied address is Unit 440, 580 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2E7. The same Vancouver group includes the Consulate General of Italy at Suite 840, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4G1. These two entries serve different listed visa routes, so confirm which centre belongs to your chosen visa route before arranging travel from Airdrie for the appointment.
Vancouver supports the supplied France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Italy routes. France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain are listed through VFS Global, while Italy is listed through the Embassy or Consulate route and the consulate guidance refers to Prenot@Mi. Toronto adds Spain through the Consulate General and Germany through the German Consulate General. Check the destination-specific official page, jurisdiction and appointment process before booking for the route you intend to use and your place of residence.
The supplied journey figures are estimated driving distances and times calculated from the centre of Airdrie. They can shift with live traffic, road closures and the applicant's actual starting point, so use them as a comparison rather than a promise of travel time. Vancouver and Toronto are separate application cities in the list. Once a route is chosen, check the exact centre address and appointment confirmation before finalising transport or accommodation for the planned appointment day.
Route-specific preparation matters in both cities. The Vancouver VFS guidance says to check the destination-specific page and appointment confirmation. Italy is tied to the stated consular jurisdiction and Prenot@Mi. For Toronto, the Spain and Germany entries both call for jurisdiction or appointment-process checks, while the VFS Toronto entry has the same confirmation reminder. Do not assume that one centre's instructions apply to another, even when the destinations are handled in the same city and country.
Match the destination to the centre before booking. The Vancouver VFS entry covers the listed France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain routes, while Italy is listed at the Vancouver consulate. A route choice should determine which official instructions you read.
Check jurisdiction before reacting to a cancellation email. The Italy guidance refers to residents in its stated consular jurisdiction, and the Toronto Spain and Germany entries also require jurisdiction checks. Eligibility is determined by the relevant mission or provider, not by the Cancellation Finder.
Save the full address for the confirmed centre. Vancouver has Hornby Street and West Pender Street entries, while Toronto has centres on Bloor Street East, Yonge Street and Beverley Street. The application city alone is not enough to identify your appointment location.
Before a Vancouver VFS appointment, read the destination-specific page and appointment confirmation. If your route is Italy, use the consulate's stated Prenot@Mi process and jurisdiction guidance. These are different booking arrangements, so retain the official page for the route selected in your confirmation.
