Poland welcomes Canada's decision to lift visas for Poles
-
WARSAW, March 2 (Xinhua) -- The Polish government has welcomed Canada's decision to lift visa requirements for Poles, local media reported on Sunday.
"Of significance for the decision were efforts taken by the Polish authorities, a phone talk of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk with his Canadian counterpart Stephen Parker and February's visit to Canada by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski," the Polish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Canada on Saturday announced it would no longer require citizens of Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania and Hungary to obtain temporary resident visas for a visit to Canada.
Canadian Immigration Minister Diane Finley said the visa-free status for the four countries takes effect immediately.
