Yes, you can apply for a visa online, though you'll need to give
biometrics if you are from some countries, and you'll need to mail your
passport to get a stamp if you are not lucky to live near a visa
application centre. Refusal rate is harsh though.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Does US Visa help getting into Canada in any way?

Hello Derek,

I was told at the airport earlier this year that I needed an ETA even
though I had a US visa.
This page
seems
to confirm it.

Depending of your country of origin, you might only need an ETA, while
people from a country in this list
 need a visa.
If you arrive by land or sea from the US and are from a ETA-required
country, you won't need an ETA according to this page
.
ETAs are very easy to get (took me 10 minutes on a phone), and you can get
it here . Cost is 7CAD.

I think you can apply for a visa online via this page
. I have not done since I
don't require one.

Don't be discouraged, CIC works very well and they are pretty good at
linking to the right information.

[Debconf-discuss] Does US Visa help getting into Canada in any way?

[Dererk]

Hi there!

I clearly remember someone (unfortunately I cannot remember whom),
telling me US Visa (B1/B2) helped that person to get into Canada or
helped shortening down the process of getting the Canadian Visa.

I spent several hours trying to dive into the Canadian documentation
(some of them waiting for the site to be up, since it come and goes all
the freaking time) which appears to mention in a parabolic way that It
might help, but (quote): It depends on your situation, the document and
the method of travel you plan to use.

So no much of help there.
It appears that there's a company/institution/something like that, that
helps easing up the process of getting a Visa for Canada, but it
involves getting into a building and paying some fees that, you might
not need to do at all if you go through an electronic (as, getting it
online) way.

Does anyone know something about that?

Any advices would be awesome since I usually get very frustrated by
paperwork :(


Thanks in advance!

Dererk
