"The country of the maple leaf" has launched a special program under the simplified procedure for obtaining multiple-entry visas for persons often visiting Canada for business purposes
As it was noted by the Canadian Embassy in the Republic of Kazakhstan, they value those who come to their country on business, and want to simplify the process of obtaining a visa to these important customers. "In this regard, we are pleased to inform customers about the new initiative, which has as its purpose to enable the applicants, often visiting Canada on business, to get a multiple-entry visas more quickly and in a simple way", - reported the Canadian Embassy in Kazakhstan.
As it was stated by Canadian diplomats, the procedure for obtaining a visa should not hinder the rapid entry into Canada, if the purpose of the trip is business. "Applications, submitted under this program, will be considered on a priority basis. In addition, individuals who apply by this program will be able to choose to have a visa which can be printed at the Canadian Embassy in Astana, not the Canadian Embassy in Moscow", - says the staff of the diplomatic mission.
If managers or employees of Kazakhstani companies need to frequently visit Canada, they are encouraged to register to participate in this program. "You can apply for a simplified procedure for the consideration of visa applications for individuals, who often visit Canada on business, sending a reply to this email address astna-td@international.gc.ca. You will need to specify the name, title and contact information of the representative of the company, which will be our contact person in case if it will be necessary to consult on applications filed by employees of your company. This person will be responsible for resolving any issues on the phone or by e-mail. We will report about the interest to this new program our visa office in Moscow, which, in turn, will confirm your registration and provide you with additional information", - said the embassy staff.
What novelty does this program offer? The first – is a simplified form. "We need the completed application form IMM5257E signed and dated (for the questionnaire, please follow the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5257E.PDF) and filled in field "Family Information” IMM5645 (link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5645E.pdf) and, if necessary, application Schedule 1 (http://www.cic.gc.ca/ english / pdf / kits / forms / IMM5257B_1.pdf)”, - noted the staff at the Canadian Embassy in Kazakhstan.
The second - less supporting documents. "Persons, who applied under this program do not have to provide documents proving the availability of sufficient funds for the trip. We need only a letter from the company stating that the applicant is its employee, confirming the purpose of the trip and that the employer is responsible for the costs associated with this trip. It is also important to note that the statement must be accompanied by proper payment of fees for the examination (for a temporary resident visa). For more information, please refer to the website www.canadainternational.gc.ca/russia-russie/ in section "Visas and Immigration". If you choose to get a visa at the Embassy of Canada in Astana, it will also be required to provide a copy of all pages of your passport. In the absence of such preferences, it would be sufficient to provide only a passport", - explained in the embassy.
And third, after the registration as soon as it becomes known about the interest of Kazakh companies to join this initiative, Visa Section of the Embassy in Moscow will send to them a confirmation of accreditation as a participant of this program. This should definitely make a photocopy of the confirmation of any application for a visa to Canada, filed by employees of the company in the future.
"The purpose of this confirmation - make sure that the VC (Visa Center - www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Kazakhstan/english/index.html) is aware of the fact that the application was registered under the simplified procedure for persons frequenting Canada on business, so that it was considered a matter of priority. Therefore, this step is very important because it is the only way to notify the VTS personnel, - added the staff of the Canadian Embassy.
