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 <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1020=16>seems to confirm it. Depending of your country of origin, you might only need an ETA, while people from a country in this list <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas-all.asp> 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 <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1044=16>. ETAs are very easy to get (took me 10 minutes on a phone), and you can get it here <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp>. Cost is 7CAD. I think you can apply for a visa online via this page <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp>. 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. -- Jean-Baptiste PERRIER On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 9:21 AM, Dererk <der...@debian.org> wrote: > 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 > > -- > Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. > -- Steve Jobs (1955-2011) > > > ___ > Debconf-discuss mailing list > Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org > http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss > > ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?
For 100km I would suggest going around the Chambly Lake https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583 Plenty of bicycles going around the lake. Alternatively, following the same route, you can go to St Jean sur Richelieu: https://www.strava.com/activities/436393533 (trace is only one way) Perhaps a bit nicer, less road and more cycleway. Both routes go to Chambly, which is a nice stop (at 30 or 70km) to get a Unibroue beer Shorter route, goes up to Verchères, mostly if not completly cycleway https://www.strava.com/activities/622440952 Another short route that goes through the estacade on the Saint Laurent: https://www.strava.com/activities/436397658 I can show the way -- Jean-Baptiste PERRIER On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 4:30 PM, Eric Evans <eev...@sym-link.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I've been thinking I might bring my gear, rent a proper road bike > (https://mybicyclette.ca/high-performance-road-bike maybe?) and go for > a longish ride on Saturday or Sunday (~100km). > > Anyone interested in joining me? > > Anyone locals have recommendations for a places to rent from, or > interesting routes? > > Cheers, > > -- > Eric Evans > eev...@sym-link.com > ___ > Debconf-discuss mailing list > Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org > http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss > ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?
Anyone want to join me on Sunday for the Saint Jean sur Richelieu ride? Lucas mentioned turning this into a day trip. Given that it is planned on Wednesday, I cannot confirm I can be there yet (work). But if I can, I don't mind doing the same trip twice. That means you can join me on Sunday (08-06) and join another group in the proposed activities* on Wednesday (08-09). Hit me up via email or on irc (Habanero) anytime. * https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17/DayTrip -- Jean-Baptiste PERRIER On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 10:27 PM, Molly de Blanc <debl...@riseup.net> wrote: > If anyone wants to borrow my bike, they are welcome to it. > > It's a 50cm nashbar touring bike, with clips, drop handlebars with two > sets of brakes, and an obscene number of gears.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?
To clarify further (you posted the same link twice ;-) ), I meant the St jean ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/436393533 It is fine gravel after Chambly. I did that regularly with 23mm tires, no problems with my road bike. Wider tires will bring you comfort as for any road but I don't remember it being uncomfortable. I ride 28's now but it is for the MTL potholes more than for the gravel :-) For the around the lake ride ( https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583 ), it is asphalt all the way IIRC.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?
Here is a quick itinerary from the old port that is not too long (~30km) and using cycleways all along, for folks who want a relaxing ride. Apologies for using google maps, I could not find a matching trace https://goo.gl/maps/o671XDoodez It follows the Canal Lachine, which was a very important waterway during the development of Montreal. You can stop at the Atwater market, where you will find plenty of fresh produce, cheeses (should you need to buy some for the C party) At the end of the canal is the Jacques Cartier parc, perfect place for a picnic. You'll see many families on the barbecue if the weather is nice. At the entrance of the parc is an ice cream vendor IIRC. This is not a city tour, more of an activity Montrealers may do themselves. If you want to cut the ride, you can go to the Lionel Groulx station (green line), and rent bikes from MyBicyclette*: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot=45.48289%2C-73.57960%3B45.47805%2C-73.57467 * https://mybicyclette.ca -- Jean-Baptiste PERRIER On Fri, Jul 28, 2017 at 8:02 AM, W.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] McGill RVC and bicycle
Your route Ian uses the rue Rachel bike path, which would be my first route
on the top of my head. It's a bike path physically separate from the road
most of the way.
I'll look into it and bike there to check if it is safe all the way.
