Visa and Immigration Section
Welcome to the Pretoria Visa Section Website. The Pretoria office of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration is primarily responsible for processing applications from ten countries in Southern Africa.
These web pages are designed to provide you with answers to all routine questions about immigrating to and visiting Canada. The site also provides a link to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. It allows access to application forms and permits clients to do a self assessment of their chances of qualifying for permanent residence in Canada.
These pages are primarily intended for our clients and potential clients in southern Africa. Accordingly, if you are accessing this site from another area you may find certain restrictions in the type of service or information provided.
