More visa application centres opened

10/09/2013

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is happy to announce that a total of 23 visa application centres (VACs) opened during the months of July and August. With the exception of two, all are new locations added to the network. CIC now has 99 VACs in 71 countries and the network will expand to over 130 VACs in 96 countries by 2014.

VACs make the process of applying for a visa to enter Canada easier and more convenient. CIC is expanding its VAC network around the world to provide valuable administrative support to applicants before, during and after their temporary resident application is assessed by a CIC immigration officer. VACs do not play a role in the decision-making process and are expressly forbidden to provide any visa-related advice to applicants.
