Visas and Residence Permits

Short-stay visas
Applicants who require a visa for Denmark must complete the applicable online visa process and submit their application and biometric data through a designated VFS Global Denmark Visa Application Centre in Canada.
Residence and work permits
Residence and work permit applicants follow the relevant Danish immigration procedure and use the designated application centres in Canada for submission and biometric recording where required.
Denmark currently uses VFS Global application centres in several Canadian cities, including Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton.
