Canada announces plans to open a new visa application centre (VAC) in Port of Spain, Trinidad, to improve the process of applying for a visa to enter the North American country.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is expanding its VAC network globally to provide administrative support to applicants before, during and after their temporary resident application is assessed by a CIC immigration officer.
VAC service agents are available by phone, email or in person to answer questions in local languages and to make sure that applications are complete. According to officials this will help avoid unnecessary delays or refusals due to incomplete applications. For an additional fee, VACs also offer other services, including photocopies, application photographs and self-service computer terminals for those wishing to take advantage of the new online applications.
The Canadian government plans to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth by attracting an increasing number of visitors and international students as well as skilled temporary foreign workers and immigrants that best respond to current and future labour market needs. |
