Apply for a Canada Visitor visa while I'm a tourist the United States?

[juanda2 1]

Hello,

My Colombian parents are currently in the US as valid tourists for 6 months. They wish to visit Canada and want to apply for a Visa. Do they need to return to their home country to apply for a visa or can they apply directly from the USA? They aren't US residents, they are US Tourists right now under a B2 Status and have a valid I94 each.

thanks,

I would contact the Canadian Consulate.

They do not need to return to Colombia to apply for a Canadian tourist visa, they can apply from the USA. They need to contact the Canadian embassy in DC or one of the many Canadian consulates in the USA

Thanks both for your answers! All sites pointed to applying online. We applied online and submitted all documents, now they answered saying they need proof of my parents' documents of residency in the US .

This is strange because we never claimed them to be US Resident (if he was why even ask for a visitor visa?). In the main form there are a few address sections and here's how we filled them:

1. The "Current country of residence": Their address in Colombia

2. Previous Countries of Residence: None

3. Country where applying: a US Address

4. Current Mailing address: a US Address

5. Residential Address: Their address in Colombia

So we submitted the I94 instead.

Any hints? where did we go wrong? Much appreciated.
