Webinar | IRCC Updates on Student Visas: Mexico Central America, and the Caribbean
The temporary closure of public-facing services at Mexico City’s Visa Application Centre (VAC) due to local COVID-19 regulations has impacted student visa processing and review times. As a consequence, BC host institutions working with international students from Mexico and Latin America worry about how to keep the gates open for incoming students.
In this session, Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Mexico will provide updates on VAC services as well as steps and guidelines to facilitate visa processing.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance through the registration form.
