Fast-Track Plan for Business Traveller Visa

Friday, 6 March 2009

According to Canadian news sources, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is working on a plan to fast-track some business travellers to Canada, allowing them to obtain visas much faster than other visitors.

"As we recognize that business is important to the economy of Canada, we're looking at streamlining the process for business visitors, where we can use the key links between companies that we know exist and are already well-known to the mission, to streamline those processes," assistant deputy minister Claudette Deschenes told members of Parliament's immigration committee last week.

Under the plan, employees of established companies that have operations in Canada could be able to get Canadian visitor visas in as little as a day or two.
