To better accommodate applicants wishing to travel to Canada, three new Visa Application Centres (VACs) will be opened in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara by the end of May. Initially, these centres will only provide biometric collection services, with plans to extend their offerings to include passport and other document tracking and transmission. Mexico will now host four VACs in its three largest cities, streamlining the application process for Mexican nationals and fostering stronger travel and people-to-people connections between the two countries while maintaining the integrity of Canada’s immigration system.
