Some visa offices are responsible for processing permanent resident applications for more than one country. Regional Program Centres (RPC)* are also responsible for processing permanent resident applications for the other countries. In addition to this, they oversee operations and manage the permanent resident visa targets of satellite visa offices within the region they serve.
Damascus – RPC**: the visa office in Damascus was recently closed and is no longer the RPC for the Middle East. Its permanent resident visa targets have been redistributed to other visa offices.
