Overview
The Consulate General of Canada in Bengaluru sits in the World Trade Center on Dr. Rajkumar Road, at the centre of southern India's technology economy — the city that anchors Canada's tech-talent and student pipeline from the south. In-person consular services are currently suspended, with passport, citizenship and emergency help for Canadians routed through the High Commission in New Delhi, and the post's continuing role running through the Trade Commissioner Service across IT, aerospace, life sciences and clean tech. For the steady flow of engineers, founders and students from Bengaluru applying to Canada, processing is online through IRCC with biometrics at VFS Global — not over a counter here.
Visa Services
Study permits, work permits, visitor visas and permanent-residence applications from residents of southern India are filed online with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC); biometrics are collected at VFS Global centres. The consulate does not take walk-in visa applications.
Service Area
