Service Canada Citizenship Program

Service Canada was created to improve access to Canadian Government resources. Global Visas, the Worlds number one visa and relocation company welcomes this initiative for those looking to immigrate to Canada.

However, whilst Service Canada Immigration provides useful information it is limited in its advice for potential Canadian immigrants as visa applications really should be done by professional experts. Global Visas are the World's largest full service relocation company with officies around the Globe, including Canada.
