Canadian immigration applications from Lebanon are processed at the visa office in Damascus, Syria and applicants used to have to travel to there if they were required to attend an interview. Now they have the choice to do so in Beirut.

Services are currently being enhanced at the Beirut visa office.

Before recently, the only exception to this requirement was for family class applicants, who had the choice between having an interview in Beirut and Damascus. In cases where applicants requested their interviews in Beirut, immigration officers used to travel from Damascus.

Now, all immigration applicants in Lebanon have the choice of having their interview in Damascus or Beirut.
