2025 figures: 5 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Bulgaria’s embassy in Ottawa, and 5 visas were issued. Applications fell by 86% compared with 2024 (35).
Bulgaria issues Schengen visas at 2 locations in Canada; this office handled 3% of their 190 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Toronto 4.1%. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.
Across all Schengen consulates in Canada, 9.0% of applications were refused in 2025; Bulgaria’s rate worldwide was 12.5%. Bulgaria received the 15th largest number of applications of the 23 Schengen states represented here.
Bulgaria only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of Canada.
