3 Simple Steps

Important Update : Following the Mayor of Los Angeles “Safer at Home” and the Governor of California “Shelter in Place” orders, please note that the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles is currently providing essential services only. Please check the Special measures to help temporary and permanent residents and applicants affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID‑19) implemented in IRCC in the meantime to answer your questions, and continue to check the VFS Visa application Centre website for updates on resumption of their services.

In the current circumstances, please note as well that IRCC will not refuse your application if you cannot complete the next step due to the novel coronavirus and that extensions were automatically given as per the Special measures. As this extension is automatic, you will no be sent an updated letter and you should not write to the visa office to request an extension or to request confirmation as we have insufficient resources available at the present time to respond to this type of inquiry. 

If you receive an email from IRCC requesting to send your passport at the Visa Application Centre in Los Angeles and need to submit for urgent reasons, please click here to receive instructions from the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles.
