Wow so sorry to read this, Armine! If the pillars of our community are having their visas
"rejected-by-filing-in-Moscow" then this is surely newsworthy? Maybe someone can
run a piece on this problem? This case in particular is pretty shocking to me.

Hello all,
I am from Armenia and I applid for a temporary Canadian visa on May 8, 2017 from the
Canada visa application centre (CVAC) in Armenia. My documents were transferred from CVAC
in Armenia to Embassy of Canada to Moscow on May 15, 2017. On
http://www.cic.gc.ca page it
says that documents for citizens of Armenia can be viewed within 2 weeks (without transfer
time). It's already 8 weeks my documents are under review. Because of this uncertain
delay I lost my trip to participate in WikiWomen Camp. On June 12, 2017 I wrote a letter
to immagration office to Moscow and have this reply: Your application is under review.
Processing times can take longer when verifications are needed and no specific time for
completion can be confirmed. You will be notified once a decision is made.
On May 27, I wrote them telling that scholarship applicatnts visa deadline is near and
again got the same answer back. So from May 8 up to now the Canadian Moscow visa office is
reviewing my docs.

Today in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said:
“Ours is a land of original peoples, and of newcomers. And our
greatest pride is
that you can come here from anywhere in the world, build a good
life and be part
of our community. We don’t care where you’re from, or what
religion you practice,
or whom you love, you are all welcome in Canada!”
