Apply Early For World Cup Visa – Canadian High Commissioner Tells Ghanaians

The Canadian High Commissioner to Ghana, Myriam Monrat, is encouraging Ghanaians planning to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup to apply early for their visas to avoid last-minute challenges.

Canada will co-host the historic tournament the first to feature 48 teams together with the United States and Mexico. According to the High Commissioner, preparations are underway to ensure smooth coordination among the three host nations.

“We are working very closely with our colleagues in the US and Mexico to ensure coherence in how we manage the World Cup,” she stated.

She also warned prospective travellers against depending on middlemen or unverified agents, stressing the need to use official application routes to avoid fraud.

“My advice to anyone planning to attend the World Cup is to apply for a visa as early as possible. Go directly to the official source and avoid scammers.

“We expect a high volume of applications, so submitting yours early will make the process smoother,” she added.
