Canada is the second largest country after Russia. She is also the largest state on the North American continent. The nature of Canada deserves that most films were shot in it. Green cities, a motley ethnic composition, a low crime rate - all this makes the country attractive to immigrants. This is especially true for our compatriots. The path of the Russian emigrant begins with the Canadian Embassy in Moscow.
Favorable emigration and bureaucracy
Canada is popular, including because it has a strong economy. Laws are really respected there, and aesthetics stands above a rational approach. Cities in the country of maple leaf are comfortable for living. They have everything not only for ordinary people, but also for people with disabilities. This is an extremely liberal state.
The policy pursued by the authorities led to the construction of a socially liberated society. People do not live in order to make money, but for themselves. They are completely open and positive. Numerous social prejudices existing in the CIS countries were completely eradicated there. In addition to all this, the government is extremely positive about immigrants. A powerful outflow of Canadians in the United States led to the emergence of a favorable immigration situation and the “doors” to enter.
Nevertheless, no matter how easy it sounds, the bureaucracy will immediately spoil the mood of the Russian emigrant. Even the Canadian Embassy in Moscow will have to accept other people's conditions. Large volumes of papers and various documents will annoy and anger. Even for a tourist visa you will have to fill out a lot of documents. If we are talking about participating in one of the immigration programs, then you need to be prepared to collect various certificates, confirmations and conclusions.
How many applications are considered?
As a rule, the Canadian Embassy in Moscow considers all issues related to tourism quite quickly. However, everything changes when it comes to work or immigration. The system is bureaucratic. The documents for such programs are worked by immigration officers who are not at the embassy, but at home in the Immigration Office.
Some lucky people wait about six months, but this rarely happens. The average waiting period for consideration is from one to one and a half years. It is impossible to speed up this process in any way. It only happens faster if a political asylum is issued. In this case, permission to enter is given almost immediately, but the probability of deportation is too high. After all, already in Canada it will be necessary to prove that refugee status is legitimate.
In which cities can I get services from the Canadian diplomatic mission?
In fact, in addition to the Canadian Embassy in Moscow, there are other organizations of the diplomatic mission in other Russian cities. At the other end of our vast country - in Vladivostok, the Honorary Consulate of Canada functions. It can also be contacted for immigration or visa requirements. There are also small units of the diplomatic mission - visa centers. They are located in the cities:
- Moscow;
- St. Petersburg;
- Vladivostok;
- Yekaterinburg;
- Novosibirsk
- Rostov-on-Don.
The network of express centers is no less developed. Basically, they only deal with the issuance and sending of documents.
Visa can be obtained not only at the consulate
Moscow is a huge metropolis. If only one embassy existed there, then the load on it would be excessive.In order to reduce queues and unload staff, the visa center of the Canadian Embassy in Moscow was opened.
It is located at the following address: Moscow, st. Suschevsky Val, 31/1. This is the main unit responsible for visa matters. To participate in immigration programs will have to interact with the embassy.
Address of the Canadian Embassy in Moscow
The embassy is easy to find. You need to take the metro to the Kropotkinskaya station, turn on the phone navigator and walk. The building is located at: Starokonyushenny per., 23.
It’s hard to walk close by. The diplomatic mission was housed in the mansion of N. I. Kazakov. This is a beautiful historic building. If you still can not pay attention to the structure, then the flags will immediately catch your eye.
The contacts of the Canadian Embassy in Moscow should always be checked on their official website. Information of this kind tends to change.
