ST EDITION.- The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor John Tory are among the Canadians indefinitely banned from traveling to Russia.
Both the premier and the mayor join a list headed by Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, Defense Minister Anita Anand and other party leaders: Conservative Party interim leader Candice Bergen, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet and Green Party leader Elizabeth May, among others who are barred from Russian territory.

How to stop russia
Actually it is always the same standard document, consisting of 2 parts: a “voucher of services”=”voucher” (in English or Russian) plus a “confirmation of reception of foreign tourist”=”confirmation of accommodation booking” =”podtverzhdenie” (in Russian). This document is issued by a Russian travel agency authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue it or a hotel entitled to do so. In most cases this document is arranged when you book your accommodation in Russia (but it is not automatic, you have to do it specially), i.e. when booking any type of accommodation, do not forget to ask about it (ask for “visa support”) before booking. There are also travel or visa agencies that manage it as an additional service. They provide a copy by fax or in PDF format. The visa will be issued exactly for the dates of stay indicated in the letter of invitation. Normally it is not required to present a reservation of air or train tickets to apply for the visa (you can read all the requirements on their website). The visa will be affixed to a page of your passport.

Russian authorities argue that the nine banned individuals, including Marci Surkes, a senior advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Rear Admiral Scott Bishop, commander of the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command, have contributed to the degradation of bilateral relations and interfered in Russia’s internal affairs.
