The Canadian High Commission in Nigeria has disclosed that its Abuja and Lagos visa application centres remain open for the processing of immigration, refugee and citizenship applications.
The Canadian High Commission had announced the suspension of operations in its Abuja office following a fire incident at its generator house, which claimed two lives on Monday.
Sequel to this announcement, Nigerians began expressing fear that the operations suspension would hamper visa application processes.
However, in a statement posted on its X handle on Thursday, the Canadian High Commission noted that its Abuja and Lagos visa application centres remain open and operational.
The statement by its public affairs staff, Demilade Kosemani reads: “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.”
