Visas and Immigration

Every year, Canada welcomes close to 39 million visitors and admits about 211 000 immigrants. Whether you would like to visit Canada or become a permanent resident, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website has all of the information for you.

Our office is a satellite office of the Canadian Embassy in Guatemala. Accordingly, there are no immigration officers on site but there are two locally engaged employees who are responsible for accepting immigrant and non-immigrant applications, taking the appropriate fees and responding to inquiries. The rest of the process is handled by the office in Guatemala. General inquiries regarding services provided by this office can be obtained from our automated telephone system (503) 279-4655

You can obtain a Visa application form from the reception desk at the Office of the Embassy, Monday-Friday between 08:00-12:00 or click here.

Non-immigrant Visa interview hours are from 08.30 - 11.00hrs, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Other interviews are by appointment only.

Applicants are asked not to call the Embassy to enquire after the status of their applications.
