I always encourage my readers to get their US visas 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 53 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 38 countries VISA-FREE with Canada visa.
The best thing about a 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 a Canada visa doesn’t offer as much VISA-FREE travel as a US visa, a Canada visa has its 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 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.

Change History
For those who are interested, here are the changes to this list.
Date | Changes |
---|---|
06 Feb 2024 | Countries added: (1) Moldova and (2) Morocco Countries removed: (1) Cuba (due to lack of proper official sources in 2024) |
23 Mar 2024 | Countries removed: (1) Egypt (due to severed diplomatic relations, Egypt is not accepting Canadian visas anymore) |
YVR says
I got denied to board to fly to Egypt even-though I have Canadian visa. I think the problems here are the immigration change the regulations many times, and Egypt it self still not giving any explanation.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi YVR! I’m sorry that happened to you. The diplomatic relations between Egypt and Canada were severed last year. Because of that, Egypt imposed visas on Canadian citizens since October last year. But they still allowed Canadian visas for non-Canadians to obtain VOA. But looks like they have removed Canada visas completed from their VOA list. I will check with the authorities and update the list accordingly. Again, I’m sorry for what happened to you and I appreciate for updating us. Thanks!
ALDEN CAPALES BALBERDE says
Is canada visa holder already resumed to VOA in Egypt?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Alden! Yes, Egypt VOA for Canada visa holders resumed from 01 Dec 2024. I will update the article soon.
