Canada to lift visa requirement for Czechs soon

17-10-2013 - Ian Willoughby

Canada will in the near future lift a visa requirement for Czechs visiting the country. The news was reported by the site Canada.com and confirmed on Thursday by the Canadian Embassy in Prague. Ottawa imposed the restriction four years ago following a spike in asylum applications from Czechs, many of whom were from the Roma minority.

The Czech government had appealed to the European Union to put pressure on Canada to abolish the visa requirement.
