Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have embarked on a major change programme designed to transform the way that it operates its visa application system. IRCC is implementing a Global Visa Application Centre (VAC) Network, having awarded a seven year contract to a partnership between VFS Global (lead) and IOM (project partner).  The VAC network will provide applicants with more convenient channels for visa submissions and improved access to enhanced administrative services, including capture of biometrics, all delivered in accordance with strict IRCC performance benchmarks and privacy requirements.

IOM’s Immigration and Border Management (IBM) Division’s on-going work in improving migration management includes developing Immigration and Visa Support Solutions (IVSS) for governments and migrants worldwide.  Within the scope of this work, IOM already provides VAC services in over 15 countries. IOM operated VACs handle all of the time- consuming administrative tasks of the visa application process and aim to ensure that only properly completed visa applications are submitted.  Such outsourcing partnerships result in reduced costs and workloads for the Immigration Departments of Member States and faster visa processing times, as well as improved service standards for visa applicants.  Perhaps most importantly, such partnerships enable immigration officers to make more informed decisions based on complete information, while focusing on their core function; making visa decisions, and not handling administrative tasks, while focusing on their core function; making visa decisions.
