Opening of a new Visa Application Centre (VAC) Lagos
Citizenship and Immigration Canada has signed an agreement to open a Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Lagos on December 16th in order to make the visa application process easier for applicants in Nigeria.
All applicants for temporary resident visas —visitors, students and temporary workers—and all permanent residents applying for travel documents to return to Canada are encouraged to present their applications at the VAC after December 16th and take advantage of the extended office hours and of the on site client service.
The VAC is only responsible for:
- distributing information on relevant visa requirements, as published by the Embassy of Canada;
- receiving applications and supporting documents;
- reviewing applications to ensure completeness; and
- securely forwarding applications to the visa office in Lagos.
- returning, by secure means, the passport and decision to the applicant.
The VAC is authorized by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to receive your application. However, if you choose not to bring your application to the VAC, you may apply directly in person to the Deputy High Commission of Canada to Nigeria. Consult the mission web site for instructions.
