In-Person Offices
The CIC prefers to not do business in person, but there are some circumstances where you may need to make an appointment or come for a visa interview. If that is the case you will need to go to an in-person office.
Unless otherwise noted, the below office locations are by appointment only. The exception to this rule is for refugee applications. Hours for when refugees can apply for status are listed below the address.
Be sure to remember to submit your application before contacting the CIC in person or through correspondence, except in the case of refugee status.
