High Commissioner to Canada speaks on strong bilateral relations between the two countries

St. Kitts and Nevis’ High Commissioner to Canada (based in Ottawa), Her Excellency, Sherry Tross, said that the relationship between St. Kitts and Nevis and Canada has been a mutually beneficial one, which dates back to the 1600s, and extends much further than visa free access.

 

She said however, that restoring the visa free access to Canada for Kittitians and Nevisians is a work in progress. 

 

At a press conference with the diplomatic and consular corps accredited to St. Kitts and Nevis on the 8th of April at the St. Kitts Marriott resort as part of Diplomatic Week 2019 (April 7-12), H.E Tross expressed that her team is working tirelessly through diplomacy to rectify the visa situation.

 

St. Kitts and Nevis lost its visa free access to Canada, on Nov. 22nd 2014. However, Kittitians and Nevisians are still able to attain the visa through one of multiple programs, such as multiple entry visa.
