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!”
