    Why would Canada listen to Russia in the first place? Do they have a policy where they take input from foreign governments when considering citizenship?

      Not Russia specifically, but it makes sense that officers considering citizenship should be well informed of applicants’ criminal convictions in other countries.

      Of course they need to exercise common sense so you don’t end up deporting refugees back to their oppressors.
