PS. They closed in Germany, Malaysia, Bangladesh too. It’s supposed to be for reducing the cost and efficiency. Whatever the reason is, Canada is one of the most important evacuation places for Japanese. Taking 13 weeks to apply causes a problem. [Link] Iori Mochizuki

They are closing Visa services in several countries (Germany, Malaysia, Bangladesh), and the reason is explained here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-office.asp
Weird, really.
here is the official explanation
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-office.asp
Canadian immigration and visa processing for citizens of Japan, a Major G-8 trading partner is moved to another country?
There is still baggage left over from bitter experiences of World War Two, or at least there was issues when one visited there in 1976-77; Republic of the Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos exploits in the Philippine resistance was printed for school children to study at that time, but time does heal all wounds.
What an improbable choice of countries for such an important office.
I think visa departments have been closed at various places to reduce overhead costs.
