I think you're overreacting guys... I would first try and go to the nearest Canadian embassy and try to get the visa. I bet in most of the cases they will just issue it without any invitation letter and the like... if not, only then worry about it ;-) I'm also citizen from one of the countries (Romania) which require visas to most of the world (or it required, the situation's relaxing in this respect), and I never had any problems getting one. Or maybe it changed after 9/11 ?
