Canada’s Abuja, Lagos Visa Offices Open – High Commission

The Canadian High Commission in Nigeria has stated that its Abuja and Lagos visa application centres are open for the processing of immigration, refugee and citizenship applications.

Recall that the Canadian High Commission had on Tuesday announced the suspension of operations in its Abuja office after a fire incident at its generator house, which killed two on Monday.

Nigerians had expressed fear that the operations suspension would hamper visa application processes.

However, in a statement issued on its X handle on Thursday, the  Canadian High Commission clarified that its Abuja and Lagos visa application centres remain open and operational.

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.”
