Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago
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 cave.[3]
