New Canadian visa application centre opens

Applications for all temporary resident, student permit, work permit and permanent resident determination that were previously made at the High Commission should be lodged at the new Canadian Visa Application Centre from today 16, says a Canadian press release.

The office is housed at "Taj Casalina"-Apt 3C (2nd floor), House SW (1), 25 Gulshan Avenue, Gulshan-1. Telephone no: (8802) 883 6055; Email: info@vfs-canada.com.bd and Web: www.vfs-canada.com.bd

The new centre will operate from 9:00am to 1:00pm and 2:00pm-5:00pm on Sunday-Thursday.

The one stop application centre will provide improved client services with the following: fast track submission of completed application forms, pick up of passport after assessment by the Canadian High Commission, on site purchase facilities of bank draft for processing fee and on site client service to assist in reviewing application documents.

The applications will then be forwarded by VFS daily to the High Commission for assessment. An interview, if required, will be scheduled by VFS to be held at the High Commission. A nominal fee of Tk 550 per passport/application will be charged by VFS as processing charges.
