If you plan to travel to Canada and stay less than thirty days, you must obtain a Canadian visa unless you are a citizen of one of the following countries:
Same day visa issuance for those who apply in person is available for citizens of most countries. However, certain countries have a mandatory three-week processing time. Those countries are Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, holders of Palestinian travel documents, Syria and Yugoslavia. There may be a ten working day waiting period for citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, People's Republic of China, Egypt, Estonia, Georgia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, Russia, Tadjikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Yemen. To obtain a Canadian visa, you may apply by
mail or in person during business hours at the Canadian Consulate in
New York City. See the Canadian
Consulate's website for specific information. Immigration Section When you visit the Consulate, you must have with you a valid passport, I-94, two passport-type photos taken within the last six months, a Canadian Visitor's Visa Application, the application fee, and any other documents which will satisfy the officer that you are entering Canada for a temporary purpose (bank statements, letter of invitation from a friend or relative in Canada, etc.) F-1 visa holders also must have a valid, endorsed I-20. You do not need a valid U.S. visa to return to the United States, nor will you surrender your I-94 when you cross into Canada. Applying for a Canadian Tourist Visa
