Ottowa, June 18 (RHC-teleSUR), -- Canadian International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland told EFE on Friday that her country will announce the elimination of entrance visas for Mexicans at the end of the month, when Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto visits Canada.
But Freeland also related the elimination of visas to "Mexican support" in trade matters.
According to Mexico’s undersecretary for North America Paulo Carreno King, during a recent visit to Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will soon rescind a visa requirement for Mexicans, imposed in 2009 by the former Conservative government to stem a spike in refugee claims. In return, Mexico will share security and background information on Mexicans traveling to Canada, similar to what is done between Canada and the United States.
