The Canadian government has decided to move the visa processing centre back to its high commission in Islamabad from Abu Dhabi.
\nRelocation of the visa office will enable Canadian immigration officials to ascertain the credentials of applications within Pakistan.
\nReports in local media quoting Pakistani-origin members of the Canadian Parliament confirmed the development as Ottawa reportedly spared a considerable amount to finance the shifting of the visa office, as done by other Western states in light of the improved security situation in Pakistan.
\nPakistan earlier approached Canada to review its decision of moving its visa centre due to ease applicants suffering due to the shifting of the office.
\nIn the previous government led by PTI, Pakistan\u2019s former high commissioner to Canada also pushed the Canadian government to relocate the visa processing centre. Canada is a crucial market for Pakistan and improved ties aimed at serving interests of both countries.
