Hi everyone, I have advance parole combo card and wants to visit family and friends IN Canada. I learnt I need a visa. Does anyone know how I can obrain the visiting visa? I tried to call the embassy in DC but they don't receive calls for visa enquiries. this visit is very important and I will be glad if anyone out there with experience can help me out. Thanks.

You can apply online (www.cic.gc.ca), by mail (forms are found online), or via a Visa Application Center

Processing times can be lenghty: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/visitors.asp / once you have your Permanent resident card in hand, you no longer need a visa to visit Canada as a tourist.

Thank you very much for your response. How long is lengthy and with my current status what is the probability of getting the visa? Just want to be sure the timing is right.

No idea, your guess is as good as mine.
