Visas and Immigration
Welcome to the Visa Section of the Embassy of Canada in Abu Dhabi.
For information about going to Canada and to find out how to make an application at this office, please refer to our list of services below.
We provide these services to residents, nationals, or persons legally admitted to the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia* and Yemen.
* Temporary Resident Visas for citizens or residents of Saudi Arabia are processed by the Visa Section in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
A NEW visa application centre (VAC) opened in Abu Dhabi on May 1, 2013, and is located on Al Meena Street (Union National Bank Building). We encourage you to apply online or through the VAC as applications submitted directly to the visa office will take longer to process.
