Schengen Visa Application in Canada

Description

Who can apply for a Schengen visa in Canada?

All non-Canadian citizens with an Iranian passport require a visa to enter the Schengen area. Applicants must possess either a valid visa, a permanent residency card (PR), or a valid Canadian multi-entry visa with at least three months’ validity after returning from the Schengen zone.
Only residents of Canada holding PR cards, student visas, or work permits can apply. Applicants on long-term tourist visas are accepted only if they can prove they are unable to apply for the visa in their home country.

Which Schengen country’s embassy should you apply for the Schengen visa in Canada?

Depending on the purpose of your trip and the length of your stay, specific rules determine which embassy or consulate of a Schengen country you should apply to.
If you’re visiting only one Schengen country, you must apply at the embassy of that country. If visiting multiple Schengen countries, you must apply at the embassy or consulate of the country where you plan to stay the longest.
