I read about you guys who get these Latinas to USA and all the difficulties with Visa, etc etc.

What does it take to get them to Canada? A Canadian Visa? Is that as difficult as USA Visa?

Anyone with experience?

Gracias

I've spoken with some who have been to Canada. Not really difficult. I think all they need is a CR passport.

Visiting Canada: Who is eligible

To visit Canada, you must:

* have a valid travel document, such as a passport;
* be in good health;
* satisfy an immigration officer that you have ties, such as a job, home and family, that will take you back to your country of origin;
* satisfy an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit; and
* have enough money for your stay. The amount of money you will need can vary with the circumstances of the visit, how long you will stay and whether you will stay in a hotel or with friends or relatives. For more information, ask the Canadian visa office in your country or region.

You may also need:

* a temporary resident visa, depending on your citizenship (see Visas and exemptions below);
* a medical examination; and
* a letter of invitation from someone who lives in Canada.

It's easier to get them to Canada , but there is a problem; finding a flight to Canada that doesn't go through the US. She won't be able to layover in the US without a valid US Visa. I think one option is to fly Iberia from SJO to Madrid, then somehow get to Canada from Spain (avoiding the US). It'll cost you though.

Why bother going to the DR? There are direct flights to Cuba from SJO. None of that is relevent to this thread however. The question posed is obtaining a visa for a non Canadian.

Somebody had just brought that up reference transit visas for connections, which are required in many countries. Had a co-traveler get fined in Russia for not having one. Lucky it was just a fine. It's an easy mistake to make (not getting a transit visa) and the airline doesn't catch it all the time. In CR you'd probably just be turned away at the gate when they're checking passports.

Yes they did bring that up but in the context of while it is easier to obtain a visa for a chica to go to Canada there might be a problem finding a flight that does not transit the U.S. therefore requiring a visa to enter the U.S. The TRWOV program was abolished after 911. The vast majority of Canadian citizens due not require a visa to enter the U.S. so are unaffected if their flight takes them to the U.S in order to make a connection to their Canadian destination.

I brought up the transit visa issue and I think it's quite relevant here since I doubt that the LATINA he's looking to bring to Canada is a Canadian citizen.

original post (I was curious :)) Transit visas are almost always approved, as long as the applicant does not have any "tags" that indicate that she/he would be a critical security risk. So, just don't forget to apply for and get the USA transit visa if you will touch ground in the USA.

That might be true but the hassle for their passengers caused some airlines to stop onward flights to other destinations after arriving in the U.S. For example old timers will remember when some of the best service and the cheapest fares to SJO from MIA were offered by Iberia and Martinair. Abolition of the TWOV program caused those carriers to stop serving SJO as a continuation of their Europe to Miami service. Martinair totally and Iberia by routing the flight non stop from Madrid to San Jose or through Panama.

The absurdity of the whole thing is that those who traveled TWOV never officially entered the U.S. as they did not clear either immigration or customs. They were held in a secure sterile area at the airport until the onward portion of the flight departed.

As the originator of this post, I cannot thank you guys enough for this education and excellent debate.

For background, I am US citizen who will be working quite a bit in Alberta in the near future and was thinking I could sneak a Columbian amiga residing in SJO to Calgary for a visit.

Not so fast my friend.....

Very interesting input....looks like the only chance would be to fly AC to YYZ and then cris-cross the country to YYC...the time and effort not worth it....

Any other ideas welcome...thanks again for all the informative input from all...

Canadian girls are nicer than gringas so you might not have to import. :D

I agree. I worked with a lot of Canadian women in Taiwan. Very nice, intelligent and lovely ladies. Same for the Australian and NZ ladies. None of them are as useless, bitchy and whiny as the good old USA gringas. No need to import, imho.

On the subject of flights, it's far easier than going through Spain, the DR or Cuba. I've taken Taca flights from Toronto that connect in El Salvador, I'm guessing no visa is required for a Latina to transit through SAL. To enter Canada however, she'll require a tourist visa at least. I know a chica who I met in the Del Rey who came to Toronto last year to work. Apparently, she's still trying to get back permanently.

BTW, Canadian girls may be nicer, but not in Toronto. :roll:
