Vancouver's VFS Global Visa Application Centre is at Unit 440, 580 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2E7. Its listed Burnaby estimate is 536.2 miles and 667 minutes by road, and its guidance says to check the destination-specific VFS page and appointment confirmation. The German Consulate General in Toronto is at 2 Bloor Street East, 25th Floor, Toronto, ON M4W 1A8, with a 2,700.8-mile, 2,904-minute estimate. Germany is the Toronto route connected to that centre in the supplied location data for Burnaby. Use the destination, rather than the city name, as your reference.
Burnaby is close to the Vancouver addresses on the supplied local estimates: Italy is 8.3 miles and 21 minutes, and Switzerland is 8.8 miles and 22 minutes. By contrast, the VFS Vancouver entry is recorded as 536.2 miles and 667 minutes, and Toronto Germany as 2,700.8 miles and 2,904 minutes. These are the supplied driving calculations, not a guarantee of the journey from your own address. Traffic, road closures and the starting point may change them before or on the day. They should be treated as planning references.
The Vancouver route set includes Italy through Prenot@Mi, Germany and Spain through the Swiss mission page supplied for those entries, and France, the Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global. The Toronto entry is Germany. All seven listed routes show a CAD 39.99 base price for 30 days. Use the official link attached to your destination, not a nearby route chosen only because its centre appears closer. The supplied data does not name a public transport itinerary, so check current travel options separately before departure. Keep the route and destination together in your notes.
Burnaby's short Vancouver estimate does not remove the jurisdiction check. Italy's guidance refers to residents in its stated jurisdiction; the Swiss mission refers to eligible residents and current guidance; Germany's Toronto listing asks for jurisdiction and appointment category. Read the destination's official page first, even if the local-looking option seems convenient.
Several destinations use Vancouver, but the listed providers are not identical. Italy is connected to Prenot@Mi, the Germany and Spain entries are linked to the supplied Swiss page, and France, the Netherlands and Portugal use VFS Global links. Confirm the destination, provider, address and booking page together before you commit to a journey.
The Italian Vancouver appointment address is Suite 840, 1140 West Pender Street, V6E 4G1; the Swiss address is World Trade Centre, 790-999 Canada Place, V6C 3E1. VFS is Unit 440, 580 Hornby Street, V6C 2E7. Compare the exact suite, unit and postcode with the official details you receive, since the application city alone is not enough to identify the correct appointment address.
Use the 21-minute Italy and 22-minute Switzerland figures as starting points only. The supplied note says live traffic, road closures and your starting point can change a journey estimate. Check the route again before leaving Burnaby, keep the appointment confirmation available and avoid treating an Alert or displayed minute count as a guarantee.
