Guyana has asked Canada to lift tourist visas for nationals trying to enter the North American country, Canadian High Commissioner to Guyana Mark Berman has said.
To facilitate Guyanese speakers at Canadian forums that
highlight Canadian enterprises and skills, Berman told reporters that the High
Commission in Georgetown "continues to seek to bring a Canadian air
carrier service to offer non-stop flights from Canada to Guyana."

He said, "We have informed Ottawa that the Government
of Guyana has shown its willingness in having this dialogue.
The Canadian diplomat said Guyana is among the 100 countries
for which Canada has visa requirements, adding “it is something we are looking
at and we will make a decision.
As I've previously stated, our business relationship with
Guyana is expanding and will continue to do so because we make natural partners
because we have similar values, access to a wealth of natural resources, and
strong ties. Among the members of the sizable Guyanese diaspora in Canada and
the numerous Canadians who reside in Guyana.
To take advantage of the significant Guyanese diaspora and
the rise in travel from Guyana, Berman informed reporters that great efforts
are being made to persuade Air Canada or West Jet to decide to fly the
Guyana-Canada route.
If you just look at the existing flights that are available
right now, they are oversubscribed, so I think that "there was a case that
we were able to make Canadian carriers understand that there was room for
another carrier to become available," he told reporters. “Guyanese and
Canadian businesspeople are traveling more frequently, and tourism is growing.
Last month, the UK lifted decades-old visa restrictions for
Guyanese, allowing them to stay there for up to six months. In November,
British Airways started operating on the Guyana-UK route.
