"The High Commission of Canada is also working at reduced capacity to ensure the safety and health of staff and client as well. Processing delays can be expected. Thank You for the patience", the High Commission of Canada added.
On April 13, the High Commission of Canada tweeted about the delays in the processing of the applications and passport services. The High Commission requested and said that please don't book your tickets to Canada until you don't receive your passport with a visa.
Earlier as well the applications of Canadians with permanent addresses, vulnerable groups, and work permits were the priorities. And now, as the staff and the working hours will be reduced the processing will be affected.
