US Visa Rescheduler for Canada

This project is no longer maintained. Please make a PR if you have a fix or want to improve its poor engineering practices. Surprisingly, this project has proven to be more useful than initially thought. I will try to maintain it as long as possible, given my availability and access to test accounts.

A simple Python script for making US visa interview appointments in Canada

Setup

Make sure you have booked an appointment on https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/.

Install dependencies (Python3 is required):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Modify settings.py as per the instructions within the script:

USER_EMAIL = "name@gmail.com"
USER_PASSWORD = "yourpassword"
EARLIEST_ACCEPTABLE_DATE = "2024-01-01"  # this is now only used in detecting
LATEST_ACCEPTABLE_DATE = "2024-03-14" 

Find a slot and book it automatically

python reschedule.py

or:

Only find slots and send you an email when a slot is found

Setup additional constants:

#Gmail login info
GMAIL_SENDER_NAME = ""
GMAIL_EMAIL = ""
GMAIL_APPLICATION_PWD = ""

#Receiver info
RECEIVER_NAME = ""
RECEIVER_EMAIL = ""

and run the script:

python detect_and_notify.py

See the script in action. Once you're satisfied with its functionality, set TEST_MODE to False in settings.py. For a headless operation, you can also set SHOW_GUI to False and allow the script to run unattended.

Caution

It may not always be feasible to reschedule an appointment multiple times. Therefore, it's crucial to use TEST_MODE = True for testing purposes and ensure the LATEST_ACCEPTABLE_DATE is genuinely acceptable to you.

Contribution

Please feel free to report issues. PRs are welcomed and greatly appreciated!

The script can be flaky especially for the legacy_rescheduler. Plans are in place to rewrite it using requests, but a test account is needed.

I have received some reports on potential problems in legacy_rescheduler. I need test accounts to understand the problems, if you would like to help please send me an email via the website in my bio.

Special thanks

Huge thanks to @jywyq for adding the Gmail notification feature.

The gmail folder is reusing gmail-sender. I'm copying it since it's not published to pip yet.
