Great news for Mexican students who want to study in Canada for higher education! Three new Visa Application Centres (VACs) have been opened in Mexico. These centres are situated in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, aiming to provide improved accessibility for students around the nation.

In the past, Mexico only had a single VAC, which caused long waiting times and inconveniences for those commuting from outside the capital. Opening these new centres eliminated the previously mentioned inconveniences by introducing specific locations for biometrics, which are often required for visa requests, which include study permits. 

This is especially good news for students planning to apply for study permits soon, as by reducing the application process, Canada allows students to focus on their primary goal: preparing for a fulfilling academic experience abroad.

Processing and other visa services will all be managed by the current VAC in Mexico City. On the other hand, biometrics will be handled by the recently opened centres, shortening and optimising the whole process of applying.

This new step highlights Canada’s desire to have closer relations with Mexico and eases the application phase for Mexican students seeking higher education in Canada. According to data obtained in 2023, more than 16,000 Mexican students had Canadian study permits, and this expansion is expected to support their steps even further.

Moreover, students can benefit from visiting the websites of Canadian educational institutions that they are interested in attending. These websites frequently include useful information about programme offerings, admission requirements, and application procedures unique to the university.

If you wish to get more information about the exact requirements and procedures for applying to study in Canada as a Mexican student, you can go to the official Canadian government immigration sites. These materials offer thorough information on the requirements of eligibility, application forms, and supporting documents required for a study permit application.

By utilising these resources and taking advantage of the new VACs, Mexican students can embark on their Canadian study journey more easily and efficiently by utilising these resources and taking advantage of the new VACs.
