Ambassade d'Haïti au Canada

Applies the rule

Haiti's mission in Ottawa, and the most useful live Haitian government source we found. Its consular page publishes the visa tariff, states that no prior visa is required of a Canadian citizen staying under ninety days, and reproduces in full the long-stay permit procedure of the Direction de l'Immigration et de l'Émigration, which it attributes to the DIE by name and ties to articles 31 to 34 of the décret-loi du 26 décembre 1978.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

Cannot be cited for

It is a mission describing an instrument it does not publish. The article numbers it cites belong to a decree-law we have never read, so the figures on the page - the ninety-day courtesy stay, the fiscal-year permit, the bank attestation of 7,500 gourdes or US$200 - are the agency's account of the law and not the law's own words. Its ninety days also contradict the thirty days article 16 of the immigration law gives, and the page cannot settle which governs. It mentions that citizens of certain countries must meet conditions as to status in Canada to be exempted from the visitor's visa, and does not publish that list.
