What attitude if I may ask?

We have to be very careful with comments on matters of this nature. 

Is it the attitude of people that would require applicants for a common visa to travel across borders to other countries?

It is not only insulting but dehumanising for Canada to disrespect Africans with this racist diplomacy. People with valid USA and European visas to be told they cannot leave Canada after the event. What is in Canada.

We need open up an online protest for signatures demanding Canada respects Cross borders'foreign relations!

In fact,  I just wrote to the embassy to return my passport as I  do need it to apply for other visa to enable me attend line-up meetings in November as I am not sure of having a decision before the next five days after reapplying.

It is really an insult. 

Anyway it's the attitude of many,  that had caused all these embarrassment. 

However,  they contributed to it all!

Dear friends, many of our partners, like our brothers in Africa, have fallen into disgrace that their visa has been denied, this is not only frustrating but also that puts our ATLAS in a difficult citation.
I don't know why we chose a place to do an ATLAS where crossing the border of that country (Canada) is similar to obtaining a prize for belonging to a select minority.
But now we are dancing so in the middle of this dance I ask Is there anyone who can do something so that our partners can travel to Montreal in just six (6) days?
So far we have these people in complicated situations:
