Visa can be denied if the Consulate has serious reasons to believe that the Applicant's visit to the Russian Federation is not desirable, and the disclosure of the reason for the denial can be withheld. In accordance with the International Law the Consulate in certain cases reserves the right to consider your visa applications for a longer period. Consular Officer reserves the right to invite the Applicant to be interviewed in person. All paperwork once submitted is not subject to any change of the announced visa processing period or the period of stay in Russia indicated in invitation available at the moment of submission. If applicant needs to make changes in submitted paperwork, all documentation will be returned to applicant for resubmission. On the basis of reciprocity, non-Canadian citizens may apply for visa to Russia at the Russian consular missions in Canada only if they have a Canadian permanent resident card, work or study permit. In all other cases they have to apply for Russian visa at the Russian consular missions in the state of their origin. Visa extensions are not possible. If visa requires extension the applicant should reapply for a new visa. All documents must be submitted at once. Uncompleted sets will be returned to the applicants without processing. We don’t accept documents by fax. NOTE After the visa is picked up it should be verified by the traveler (spelling of the name, dates of travel, passport number, date of birth) and, if necessary, returned to the Consulate for corrections. The Consulate will not bear any responsibility for the errors in visas, which were not brought to its attention before departure from Canada. | |
