The Canadian authorities on Thursday allayed fears of prospective travellers over the suspension of activities in its Abuja High Commission.
The High Commission said the suspension will not in anyway affect visa application.
The High Commission on its social media handle on Thursday said processing of immigration, refugee, and citizenship applications remains ongoing.
It also disclosed in statement on the High Commission’s X (formerly twitter) account that visa application centres in Abuja and Lagos remain open.
A statement on the High Commission’s X account on Thursday by its Public Affairs Saff member, Demilade Kosemani, read, “As we continue to mourn the passing of our dear colleague from the High Commission of Canada in Abuja, please note the following information below:
“Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada clients: processing of applications continues. Regardless of the suspension of operations at the High Commission of Canada in Abuja, the visa application centres in Abuja and Lagos remain open.”
The commission had suspended its operations following the Monday explosion from its power generating plant, which resulted in the deaths of two persons and injured two others.
