A spokesperson for Employment and
Immigration Canada provided the following information in a
telephone interview on 2 November 1992.
A person in Sudan who wishes to acquire a
Canadian visitor's visa can apply either to the British High
Commission in Khartoum or the Canadian Embassy in Cairo. Canada has
no post in the Sudan. Sudanese can apply by mail, as all Canadian
missions accept visa applications by mail. However, the visa
officer may wish to have a personal interview with the applicant
before granting a visa. Those Sudanese who must be interviewed by a
visa officer before a decision is made must wait for an area trip
by the embassy staff to the Sudan. According to the spokesperson,
the staff in Cairo do not expect all Sudanese to wait for an area
trip for an interview and so some visas are approved by mail.
A person can apply for the visa of a spouse
through the mail. Depending on the documentation provided in
support of the application, the visa officer may wish to interview
the person's spouse before a decision is made.
Additional and/or corroborating information
on this topic is not currently available to the DIRB.
