Important
notice for Bosnia Herzegovina nationals
New Canada Visa Application Centre for
Residents of Bosnia-Herzegovina opens in Sarajevo.
VFS Global as a part of a contract awarded by Government of Canada will
provide Canada Visa Application Centre (CVAC) services to applicants wishing
to travel to Canada. As per the contract, VFS Global will establish a robust
worldwide network of up to 125 CVACs.
This global network of CVACs will provide
increased access and enhanced administrative services to applicants through a
consistent service delivery approach, which will also support biometrics
implementation.
VFS Global manages the Canada Visa Application
Centre (CVAC) in Bosnia-Herzegovina, operated by International
Organization for Migration (IOM) in
Sarajevo.
The CVAC provides exclusive service for the
Government of Canada, and is authorized to accept applications in all
temporary resident categories (visitor visas, study and work permits) and
travel document applications from Canadian permanent residents in
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The CVAC is authorized 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 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:
