1. If there is no consulate where the person is living, then that person must go to the nearest consulate that has jurisdiction over the country of residence of the applicant. You cannot just apply anywhere. And you must apply in person.
2. 2800 kilometers sounds like a lot. where are you located? i will check to see if one is closer to you? come back if you wish? ps: i checked with cic Canada immigration, perhaps you can find one closer but i could not, here is the list, look at it if you wish? and you might find one? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions.asp
