캐나다 비자지원센터(Visa Application Centre) 오픈 공지내용

 

 

 

캐나다 비자 오피스가 서울에 오픈하였습니다. 이렇게 반가운 소식이. 2013년도 8월 7일날 오픈을 하였으며 앞으로 비자를 받는데 있어서 수월하게 진행이 될 것 같아 너무 기쁘네요. 예상했던 시기보다는 조금 일찍 오픈되어서 더 기쁘네요. 콜센터도 있어서 비자 관련 문의 할때도 예전보다는 훨씬 비자 접수하는데 큰 도움이 되지 않을까라는 생각이 드네요. 한국어로 번역되어진 싸이트는 캐나다 비자 신청하고 이해하는데 큰 도움이 될 것 같아요. 한국어 싸이는http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/korea/index.html# 홈페이지의 내용을 조금더 자세히 살펴본 후에 비자신청관련해서 다시한번 포스팅을 하도록 할께요.

New Canada Visa Application Centre opens in Seoul, Korea

VFS Global as a part of a contract awarded by Government of Canada will provide Canada Visa Application Centre (VAC) services to applicants wishing to travel to Canada. As per the contract, VFS Global will establish a robust worldwide network of up to 125 VACs.

This global network of VACs will provide increased access and enhanced administrative services to applicants through a consistent service delivery approach, which will also support biometrics implementation. 

VFS Global is pleased to announce the opening of the Canada Visa Application Centre (CVAC) operated by VFS South Korea LLC on August 7, 2013. The CVAC will provide exclusive service for the Government of Canada, and is authorised to accept applications in all temporary resident categories (visitor visas, study and work permits) and travel document applications from Canadian permanent residents in South Korea.

The CVAC is authorised to provide administrative support services, such as the collection of visa applications, fees and return of passports in sealed decision envelopes to applicants. The CVAC can also assist in scheduling interviews on behalf of the Canadian visa office. 

The decision to issue or refuse a visa is made solely by immigration officers of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), in accordance with Canada’s immigration visa rules and guidelines. The CVAC has no role or influence over the outcome of an application and will not offer any evaluative advice.

The use of CVACs is voluntary. Such service may also be obtained directly from CIC, either at the Canadian visa office located in Manila, Philippines or by using CIC’s Online Application (E-Apps) system.

With the new facility offered by the CVAC, applicants can benefit from a host of facilities and additional services such as:

	Conveniently located and easily accessible visa application centres
