Does anybody know if mexico is actually working ?? I see people get pre arrivals but many are saying Mexico is not open . Is this even possible
As of the end of July the Embassy was working remotely. We received a request for a Mexican Police Certificate (wife is Venezuelan, living in Mexico City) at the beginning of July. When we submitted the certificate, both by courier and by webform, we received an email stating that the digital copy would be transferred to the case officer as all case officers are teleworking. The following week we received DM in ECAS.

But, the VAC, operated by VFSGlobal, where passports are sent for the Visa, is closed. We cannot send our passports in for the Visa. So end result, keep waiting.

Hello Wisdom333. Can you please post a link to the article? Much appreciated.
Hello,
I can’t find the way to share it through my phone to here and I don’t have access to a computer. The title is “CDMX sigue en semáforo naranja pero abrirán albercas, museos y cines“ and It’s from La Jornada. Read it on their Facebook page.

Mexico juste asked us to redo medical.

Is that cause they are closing in??
I think that's good news. You must be almost finished also. You should see if your MP can check if the eligibility is passed

Congratulations Jeff. When did your file move to Mexico and when did they start processing your file?

Can she go to another visa office that is open? For instance Jamaica or Trinidad?

I'm wondering. Since Mexico City VAC is closed and Ecuador VAC is closed. Is it not possible to DHL my family's passports to Canada and have them do it here instead of having to wait for two different VAC to open?

Wow, That’s an interesting question and maybe a great idea if they could do that.
