The High Commission of Canada to Barbados ((フランス語:Haut-commissariat du Canada à Barbade)) is Canada's main diplomatic mission to Barbados. The exact location is Bishop's Hill Court in Bridgetown, St. Michael. The auspices of the High Commission to Barbados also include issues involving the neighbouring Eastern Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as three British overseas territories: Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Montserrat. It also includes consular and trade services for Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin and Sint Maarten. The High Commission provides business and consular services to residents and visitors to and from Canada. Additionally, the High Commissioner also serves as the honorary leader of the non-profit ''Canada Barbados Business Association'' (CCBA) organisation and a liaison for Canada to the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). The current resident High Commissioner from Canada stationed in Bridgetown is Ruth Archibald,〔(Diplomatic Appointments ) June 18, 2009 (1:45 p.m. EDT) No. 166〕 who has a long career in international diplomacy. The office of the High Commissioner also works with the 3,000-4,000 registered Canadian permanent residents who reside in Barbados. Canadian immigration services were moved from Barbados to Trinidad in recent years for the purposes of cost savings. This means that all Caribbean people applying to immigrate to Canada from islands surrounding Barbados must apply through the office in Port of Spain, Trinidad. In 2011 the High Commission investigated relocating as it was believed it might have been built above a subterranean cave.〔(Geologist corrects error ), May 11, 2011〕 ==Past High Commissioners== (詳細はJames Russell McKinney (1966/11/30 – 1969/07/19)〔(McKinney )〕 *Gerald Anthony Rau (1969/08/21 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian High Commission, Bridgetown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
