The nearest listed option is the Consulate General of Italy, Vancouver, at Suite 840, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4G1. The supplied driving estimate is 99.5 miles and 245 minutes from the centre of Victoria. Its guidance says the visa office serves residents in its stated consular jurisdiction and uses Prenot@Mi. The Italy route's official booking link also points to Prenot@Mi. Check whether the current stated jurisdiction covers your residence and follow the provider's current booking instructions before relying on this centre.
Two further Vancouver centres are listed. The Consulate General of Switzerland is at World Trade Centre, 790-999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E1, with an estimated 100.1 miles and 247 minutes from Victoria's centre. Its guidance says this mission represents additional Schengen destinations for eligible residents, so check the current jurisdiction guidance.

The supplied guidance specifically says to check the destination-specific VFS page and appointment confirmation.
Treat Vancouver as the first location to assess, but do not assume that the nearest address is the correct place for every destination. Italy is listed at 99.5 miles and 245 minutes, while the Swiss Vancouver centre is 100.1 miles and 247 minutes. The VFS Vancouver address is much farther in the supplied estimate at 622.2 miles and 891 minutes. These are driving estimates from the centre of Victoria, not a guaranteed itinerary. Check the official centre page, destination-specific guidance and your appointment confirmation, then allow for possible changes caused by traffic, road closures and your starting point.
The Vancouver route list includes Italy, Germany and Spain through the listed embassy or consulate services, plus France, the Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global. The Toronto list includes Germany through the German Consulate General. The route records show a 30-day duration and a base price of CAD 39.99 for each supplied route. If you choose an Alert, select the destination and city that match your intended application, and use the linked official booking page for the final appointment process. Availability changes, so do not book travel solely on the expectation of a particular slot.
Before travelling, check the centre address in your appointment confirmation against the official centre page. The Italian, Swiss and German listings include jurisdiction guidance, while VFS Vancouver asks applicants to check its destination-specific page and appointment confirmation. If the instructions do not fit your circumstances, pause and confirm the position with the relevant provider rather than assuming the route is suitable.
Use the supplied estimates as planning markers, not promises: 245 minutes to the Italian Consulate, 247 minutes to the Swiss Consulate, 891 minutes to VFS Global Vancouver and 3,099 minutes to the German Consulate in Toronto. They are driving estimates from the centre of Victoria and can change with live traffic, road closures and your starting point. Build your plan around the confirmed appointment.
Keep the official booking links to hand for the appointment process. The Italy route points to Prenot@Mi; the France, Netherlands and Portugal routes point to VFS Global pages, and the Germany and Spain Vancouver routes use the supplied Swiss guidance link. The Toronto Germany route points to the German Missions booking page. Follow current page instructions rather than an older saved plan.
Have the centre name, full address, destination and appointment confirmation together before setting out. Vancouver has three different listed addresses and the Toronto option is in a different city and province. Use these details to check that you are travelling to the intended listing. If availability or instructions change after booking, review the provider's latest information before departure.
