Applying for this visa depends on an individual's nationality, travel documents, purpose of travel, and itinerary, rather than a specific transit city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho may need a C-1 visa?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassport holders who are subject to U.S. visa requirements, including those living, studying, working, or holding permanent residency in Canada, may need an appropriate visa to transit through the United States. Canadian permanent residents are not automatically exempt from U.S. visas. Those with a valid B-1\/B-2 visa can generally use that visa for transit instead of applying for a separate C-1. Some nationalities are visa-exempt under specific regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScope of use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C-1 is intended for direct, continuous, and reasonable transit to another country; it is not for tourism, visiting friends\/family, or staying in the U.S. for independent purposes. If there is a need to travel to the U.S. for sightseeing, business, or to visit relatives, the appropriate visa category should be assessed. A visa does not guarantee entry; the decision rests with U.S. border control authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical advantage: C-1 interview slots can be much sooner than B1\/B2\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas\/visa-information-resources\/global-visa-wait-times.html\"\u003eU.S. Department of State's Global Visa Wait Times\u003c\/a\u003e, updated on September 17, 2026, the estimated wait times for the next available interview appointment at U.S. consular posts in Canada are as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 9px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eInterview Location\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 9px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eB1\/B2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 9px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eC-1 (Transit)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px;\"\u003eToronto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e20 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 month\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px;\"\u003eCalgary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e14 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnder 0.5 months\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px;\"\u003eVancouver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e18 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px;\"\u003eOttawa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e2 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px;\"\u003eQuebec City\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e3 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 9px;\"\u003eHalifax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e In Toronto, the expected C-1 schedule is approximately 19 months sooner than the B1\/B2; in Calgary, the C-1 wait is under half a month compared to 14 months for the B1\/B2.
