Hello,

 

This comment system leads to the team responsible for transparency and accountability work in the public service. We host datasets and records about many things, including statistics on immigration and visa applications, but we do not deal with these services directly.

 

For more information on how to apply for a Canadian visa or work permit, we recommend that you visit the websites below:

-Visitor Visa: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-visitor-visa.html

-Work Permit: https://www.canada.ca/work-in-canada

 

For additional questions, we recommend that you reach out to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada directly. They can be reached through their Client Support Centre: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/client-support-centre.html

 

Regards,

 

The Open Government team
