NEW DELHI — Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced the launch of the CAN Plus program in India, which he claims will result in more efficient processing for Indian visitors coming to Canada.
The CAN Plus program is open to Indian nationals who have traveled to Canada or the United States of America within the last 10 years. They will benefit from expedited processing, which will free up visa officers to work on other cases, improving overall processing times for all Indian travelers.
Alexander made the announcement during an event with representatives of India’s business, tourism and education sectors, where he highlighted a number of successful government initiatives that are increasing trade and travel to Canada from India.
