Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has implemented special measures to help temporary and permanent residents and applicants affected by COVID-19.
We are only processing the following cases:
Applicants who are in a situation described and who need to urgently travel to Canada for an essential (non-discretionary) purpose, can email IRCC Ankara at ANKRAIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca for instructions. All other applicants must apply online.
The Visa Application Centres (VAC) in Turkey have reopened and will operate on a reduced schedule with reduced services. Please visit the VFS Global website for more details. In the interest of staff and client safety due to the COVID-19 pandemic, special handling procedures may cause delays in the reception of your documents. We thank you for your understanding.
If your passport is at the Embassy or at the VAC, and you need it urgently please write to ANKRAIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca and indicate in the subject line “Passport return”. Otherwise, we will hold on to it until regular processing is resumed.
