Canadian Visa from Pakistan
 |
| Canada Visit Visa |
Pakistanis have the option to apply for a business and visit visa to Canada from Pakistan in 2025. Whether you plan to visit for tourism, family visits, friends or business, the Government of Canada requires that you do a Canadian visa application from Pakistan before your departure. It is important to note that the Canadian Embassy does not accept direct in-person applications. Instead, the process involves completing your visa application online through the official Canada immigration website IRCC and then making an appointment at VFS Global to submit your physical documents. Please note that you must appear in person at VFS Global to submit your application. Successful applicants from Pakistan are granted Canadian visas based on the strength of supporting documentation they provide to justify the purpose of their visit.
You should note that due to the large number of Canadian
visa applications from Pakistan, you may have difficulty securing SVA
appointments for biometric verification. You can apply for a visa online very
easily. But after applying for the visa, you need to appear at a visa
application center for biometric verification. If you applied from a foreign
country, you may get your appointment sooner, but applying from Pakistan may cause
significant delays in the biometric application.

Canadian Visa Appointment for Biometrics
The Canada visa application is done online where you create your account, post your supporting documents and pay the visa fee. However, the last step is the main problem. You must appear in person at your local visa application center for biometric checks. In our case, it is VFS which has branches in major cities of Pakistan. Until June and July 2025, there was no problem getting a free online Canadian visa appointment for biometric verifications. But throughout August, there had been an almost total blockage of appointments for biometric visas for Canada. This situation has gotten so bad that there are currently people selling these appointments for thousands of rupees. But the added problem is that most of these people commit fraud on innocent people.
According to recent updates, it is likely that there will be more online appointments for biometric verification from September 2025. You must continue to try on the online portal to book your appointment yourself you for safety reasons. When you apply for a Canadian visa online, you get a deadline to submit biometric verification. But a recent discussion with the VFS team suggests that if you are unable to secure a biometric visa appointment for Canada, you can still get your date extended. However, you should report this problem to the VFS office as soon as possible. For more details about Canada visa appointments for biometrics, you can contact our support team.
