Which centre can you use?
The Dutch government lists VFS Global application centres in Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver for applicants living in Canada. You can compare those options through the official Netherlands application guidance. Choose somewhere you can attend; this is not an exclusive allocation for London, Ontario.
This route is for short-stay Schengen holiday applications, where a visa is required for your nationality. If you are visa-exempt, you do not need this visa. Confirm the visa requirement and that a holiday visit is the correct purpose before you arrange an appointment.
If VFS Global shows no suitable time
The Dutch government directs applicants to make an appointment online through VFS Global. Use the official Netherlands appointment booking page to follow the provider’s process and check the available information. No appointment time is confirmed by this page, so rely on the official booking page for current availability.
Before booking, confirm that you are using the Netherlands route, selecting the correct short-stay purpose and choosing a centre you can visit. Use the provider’s instructions for the booking itself, and check the Dutch government’s Canada guidance for the application route.
Get your application ready
First check whether your nationality requires a Schengen visa for a holiday visit. Then consult the current official guidance and checklist for your circumstances. Requirements can vary with the application, so avoid relying on a general list or information intended for a different visa purpose.
Keep your proposed travel dates and purpose clear as you prepare. Review the document requirements before selecting a time, and allow yourself enough time to gather the items that apply to your application. This can help you avoid arranging an appointment before you are ready to proceed.
The Dutch government’s guidance for applying in Canada explains the Canadian application route. VFS Global handles online appointment booking, so use its booking page for that step and the government guidance for the application information.
How appointment alerts work
Netherlands Visa Alerts starts searching after your payment is confirmed. When a matching appointment is detected on this route, the service sends an email notification. SMS notifications are available where enabled, supported and possible, but carrier delivery is not guaranteed.
You still make the appointment personally through VFS Global. A notification does not reserve or hold a time, and neither notification nor booking speed is guaranteed. Keep your details ready so you can act on an alert by checking the official booking process.
Take the next step
Confirm that you need a visa for a holiday visit, then book personally through VFS Global at a centre you can attend. This paid alert route covers Toronto appointments only, not appointments at the other listed centres. If you want notifications while looking for a suitable time, start Netherlands appointment alerts for Toronto.
