KYIV, Aug 30 - The share of refusals to Ukrainians in granting visas to Canada exceeded 26% in the first five months of 2018, Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada Andriy Shevchenko has said.

"In the first five months of 2018, we have 26.77% of refusals. I believe that this is a huge figure that does not correspond to the partnership and friendship existing between Ukraine and Canada," Shevchenko said in an exclusive interview with Interfax- Ukraine.
