Rescheduling Interview

[Canadiana013 1]

Hello everyone waiting for Montreal.....

I have a question for those of you who have already booked your interviews. Is it possible to reschedule an interview date online without cancelling your current interview date first? I read the following in the FAQ section of the visa info website:

The applicant could not find an available appointment in time for the intended trip. What can the applicant do?

Log in again and if the applicant has not yet scheduled an appointment, please look at the calendar again. Availability can often change, due to other applicants having canceled their appointments. However, if the applicant has booked an appointment already, and now wishes to change that appointment, the applicant must cancel the current appointment in order to view the calendar to see if there is an earlier date for which the applicant would like to schedule. If the applicant feels the travel situation is an emergency, the applicant should read the Expedited Appointments information located in the left hand menu on this Web site. If the applicant requires a visa to travel to the United States, please obtain one before purchasing a ticket.

I've read on VJ about people rescheduling their interviews for an earlier date, but does that mean you risk cancelling your current interview? I thought that you could just log in and view the interview calendar even if you had already booked your interview. If not, can you call to reschedule without cancelling your interview date?

Thanks!

You can check the calendar for earlier interview dates without canceling your current interview date, yes.

When you login, it gives you an option to "Reschedule Appointment" ... if you click on it, it will tell you "The earliest date available for your trip purpose is XX-XX-2011. Based on this information, would you like to reschedule?" and you can click yes or no.
