Under the new guidelines, the process has become more personalized. Immigration officers will now assess each application individually, determining whether a single or multiple-entry visa will be granted, and for how long. Unlike before, where extended multiple-entry visas were often the norm, these decisions will now reflect the applicant’s unique profile and Canada’s priorities.

This change comes at a time when the Canadian government is seeking to balance its reputation as a welcoming nation with the realities of housing shortages, rising living costs, and other economic challenges. While this may sound daunting, it’s also a reminder of Canada’s commitment to maintaining fairness and creating sustainable opportunities for those who seek to visit or settle there.

For many Africans who dream of visiting loved ones, exploring new opportunities, or experiencing the rich culture and beauty of Canada, this new policy means it’s more important than ever to plan carefully. Applications may take longer, and the shorter duration of visas could mean added costs for those hoping to travel frequently. Yet, with the right guidance and preparation, your dream of stepping foot in Canada is still within reach.

Canada’s doors remain open—but with more selective entry criteria. This is an invitation to show the strength of your story, your purpose, and your determination to make a positive impact. Remember, every challenge is an opportunity to shine brighter.
