How to travel 36 countries VISA-FREE with a Canada visa [2020 edition]

Updated: February 24, 2020 180 Comments

Travel Countries VISA-FREE with Canada Visa

I always encourage my readers to get their US visa at some point. Having a US visa will open up many doors. Of course, you can travel to the US, but you can also travel to 49 countries VISA-FREE with US visa.

But, many fear that the US visa is the most difficult to get.

Well, there is an alternative – CANADA VISA.

Canada visa is the second best visa. You can travel 36 countries VISA-FREE with Canada visa.

The best thing about Canada visa is that there is NO VISA INTERVIEW.

The US visa interview process is frightening to many. If you have been to one, you would know what I mean. The high security at the consulate, lining up in the street outside the building, intimidating visa officers, questions that you were not prepared for, and the list goes on.

If you do not have a US consulate in your city, you have to travel to the nearest city where the US consulate is. The visa fee itself is quite steep and on top of that, these travel expenses can add up.

Why should you get a Canada tourist visa?

Though Canada visa doesn’t offer as much VISA-FREE travel as the US visa, Canada visa has its own advantages.

  • Canada visa application has no visa interview.
  • Canada tourist visa is also a long-term visa. Usually issued for 10 years or until the expiration of your passport.
  • The fee for Canada tourist visa is much lesser. It’s only $100 CAD.
  • India and China passport holders can even take advantage of the CAN+ expedited program.
  • Last but not the least, Canada itself is a beautiful country. Have you ever seen the pictures of Banff National Park? Just Google it. It’s spectacular. That’s just one example. The country is vast, diverse and a nature lover’s paradise. It’s also culturally diverse and the people are the most polite in the world.
