Mark Berman

Canadian High Commissioner to Guyana, Mark Berman last night disclosed that discussions for visa-free travel for Guyanese to Canada have been taking place.

The High Commissioner also disclosed that there have been ongoing conversations with major Canadian airlines to operate on the Guyana-Canada route.

Even as he noted that there has been no decision, Berman speaking on the sidelines of a welcome reception for a Canadian trade delegation here, said the issue of visa-free travel has been discussed with the relevant authority in Ottawa, Canada. He said that the Government of Guyana has also indicated that it is interested in having that discussion with the Government of Canada. According to Berman, “it is something we are looking at and we will make a decision.”
