How to check appointment availability for Consulates in Canada

[swatina]

Hello All, 

I wanted to check appointment availability for Consulates in Canada. I had gotten my visa three years ago and at that time I was able to check appointments available at various consulates. Could you please direct me to the website where I can see appointment availability. 

Could you detail the visa stamping process as well. I see websites have changed. Do I start with DS 160?

Yes you need to start with DS 160.

After you are done, go to this website and create account to check visa dates. It will show nearest available date without payment but after you pay $190 which is valid for a year, you can see all dates in all Canadian US consulates.
