Public Services and Procurement Canada, on behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, has awarded VFS Global five of the six regions of its global contract for visa application centre services. The contract covers Eiropa & CIS, Āfrika & Middle East, Ziemeļāzija, Dienvidāzija and Australasia.
VFS Global has been serving the Canadian Government since 2005 and currently operates Visa Application Centres (VACs) in five continents for Kanāda.
This is a very significant win for VFS Global, which handles approximately 1.8 million Kanāda vīzu pieteikumus visā pasaulē katru gadu.
Kriss Dikss, Galva - Biznesa attīstība, VFS Global, atzīmēja, "Mēs esam priviliģēts to continue our partnership with the Canadian Government. This is not only important because Kanāda jau ir the most extensive VAC network pasaulē kur 129 VACs ir darbina by VFS Global, bet arī kā balvu further reinforces our company"s position as the leading visa services partner līdz 58 client governments worldwide."
ar Kanāda having celebrated its 150th Anniversary of Confederation in 2017, tourism interest in Kanāda has increased significantly. The New York Times pacēla Kanāda as its top travel destination for 2017, amongst 52 other locations – signalling just how attractive the country has become to international travellers. According to Destination Canada, the country welcomed a record breaking 20.8 million tourists in 2017, the highest ever, and this trend is expected to continue.
For VFS Global, 2018 has already been very eventful with the award of the Canadian contracts coming shortly after the decision of the Government of Šveice to award the company over 80% of its global visa processing contract. VFS Global is the trusted partner to 58 client governments worldwide, offering a range of visa, permit, passport, and consular services.
