Canadian Visa Application Centre
As Canadian Government does not issue visas in Kazakhstan, the Embassy of Canada in Russia subcontracted the International Organization for Migration to perform courier services and facilitate visa application process for citizens of Kazakhstan. To submit your application in person, simply visit the IOM office.
Trained staff will ensure that applications submitted are complete, and that all required supporting documentation is attached and translated into English as required. With submission of the visa application in person, the Canadian visa-processing fee must be paid with original proof of payment submitted with your application. Please, note that in addition to the Canadian visa-processing fee, an IOM service fee will also be charged (payable in cash, USD or KZT, non-refundable).
For further information regarding visiting or migrating to Canada, including printable application forms, please visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/
IOM Kazakhstan has absolutely no role, whatsoever, in the assessment of Canadian visa applications, which is the sole prerogative of the Consulate General of Canada in Russia.
