Ukraine, Canada start negotiations on visa regime improvement
Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Roman Waschuk has said that Ukraine and Canada start negotiations on the improvement of the visa regime, rather than on the introduction of visa-free travel for Ukrainian citizens.
"I would comment on the issue a little bit differently. We begin a dialogue on the essence of our visa regime. We are trying to improve the tools that we have at our disposal," Waschuk told NewsOne TV Channel while answering the question of holding Ukraine-Canada negotiations on visa-free regime for Ukrainian citizens.
The ambassador noted that Canada issues visas to Ukrainians for a period of 10 years. At the same time, the citizens of Bulgaria and Romania still need visas to visit Canada. "The nature of our legislation, the nature of our emigrational legislation is such that this is about simplification, improvement, but not about transferring to some visa-free regime over the next year," the ambassador added.
