Mathieu Taillefer\u0027s spouse, Gulmira, has so far been unable to obtain either permanent residency or a tourist visa to Canada.

Mathieu Taillefer, 39, said goodbye to his Russian wife, Gulmira, and his Canadian children, two-year-old Chanel and nine-month-old Tristan, on Aug. 2.

Taillefer’s wife first applied to become a permanent resident of Canada in May 2021, when the family initially considered a move to Ottawa. She was told the processing time would be about a year. The department warned Canadians living in Russia that security conditions were unpredictable “and could deteriorate without notice.” Federal officials recommended against all travel to Russia and advised those still in that country to “leave now while commercial means are still available.”

On its website, updated weekly, Global Affairs Canada says it takes an estimated 71 days to process visitors’ visa applications from Russia.
