Canada Visa
Visitor visas, study permits and family visit applications handled through the IRCC portal.
Canada's visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) is processed online through IRCC, with biometrics captured at the VAC in Lagos or Abuja. Canadian officers place particular weight on the purpose of travel, your finances and your ties to Nigeria — and on a well-written letter of explanation, which many applicants underestimate.
Our Canada desk prepares complete, well-organised applications for tourism, family visits and study, including compelling invitation packages for sponsors in Canada and careful handling of any previous refusals.
