Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Canada Visa Application Center may take additional measures to ensure the health and safety of applicants.

According to instructions issued by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, applicants can no longer apply for temporary residence in paper form at the Visa Application Centres.

Most applications for temporary residence must continue to be submitted online through the IRCC website: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html
