# Canada Recompetes Visa Centre Contracts

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) disclosed that six overseas visa application centre contracts awarded in 2018 have combined current ceilings of $661.1 million, compared with original values totaling $29.8 million. The ceilings are not confirmed spending; IRCC disclosed $62.4 million in amendments for April–June 2026. A replacement procurement is reportedly underway before the contracts’ delivery end date of October 31, 2027, creating a potential recompetition for firms able to deliver visa-centre services across international locations while meeting security and operating requirements.

- The six-contract aggregate is the central opportunity; contract 20150140-2 is the largest, with a current value of $224.7 million. These figures are ceilings, not evidence of realized expenditure.
- The incumbent awards include VF Worldwide Holdings Limited and TT Visa Services Ltd, with VFS Global identified as a subcontractor. Their roles offer market context for firms assessing the existing delivery structure.
- Companies interested in the reported replacement procurement should assess their capacity to provide visa-centre services, meet security requirements, and operate internationally. The stated October 31, 2027 date is the current contracts’ delivery end date, not a proposal deadline.
