The Canadian government is working hard to ensure that Indian students who are set to go to the country for their education this year get their visas on time. It is also investing more money and adding resources to clear the massive backlog of visa applications at the earliest, a top Canadian government official said.
Speaking to The Hindu, Cameron MacKay, High Commissioner for Canada in India said: “It is the case unfortunately that we have a post-Covid pandemic backlog of visas in every category of visa. It is a very serious backlog. The government is dedicated to getting through that backlog as quickly as possible. We are investing more money and more people to get through it. Particularly this summer, we are making every effort to ensure that every young Indian planning to study in Canada will get their student visas on time. We are doing everything we can to achieve that”.
Mr. MacKay said Indians are at the top of every visa category to Canada—student, temporary residence, permanent residence, tourists.
