On November 27, the Canadian government announced the implementation of digital visas. More specifically, the services of the’IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) will be modernized. This project will be developed and tested for a fixed period. Not all citizens eligible for the visa will be affected by this change. Find out more about the specifics of this new pilot project in this article.

Moroccan citizens will be able to test the digital visa application process

During the first phase of testing, Only Moroccan citizens will be eligible for the digital visa., who have already obtained a visitor visa. These travelers will be able to receive a digital visa, which will be added to the visa sticker already affixed to their passport. The IRCC's goal will then be to gather feedback from the first participants so that it can roll out this system to other nationalities.

For Moroccan nationals who have not received a visitor visa, the procedure remains the same. It is therefore necessary to contact the Canadian embassy closest to their place of residence. The process is more complex, and the prospective traveler may be asked to visit the embassy to apply for a visa.

As can be seen with the launch of this pilot project, immigration services want to improve the procedure and digitize the visa application process classic.
