The Canadian High Commission has issued clarifications that the shutting down of its operations in Nigeria does not affect the processing of visas in the country.
The high commission said its visa application centres in Nigeria will remain open even as commission mourns the staff that was lost in the recent fire incident at its embassy in Abuja.
A statement by the Canadian High Commission on Thursday, November 9, asserted that the processing of immigration, refugee, and citizenship applications remains ongoing.
The statement read “As we continue to mourn the passing of our dear colleague from the High Commission of Canada in Abuja, please note the following information below:
“Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada clients: processing of applications continues. Regardless of the suspension of operations at the High Commission of Canada in Abuja, the visa application centres in Abuja and Lagos remain open.”
