Answer 2

You don't need a visitor's visa if you're coming over for a short stay. You do need one if you intend to stay for a while (studying or working) or if you wish to immigrate. You might with to contact the canadian embassy in washington - they might even have a consulate or a Canada House in your city: they have one in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, I believe.

Answer 3

I think your best bet would be to call Immigration Canada directly to find out about this as you will not be able to get an answer you can rely on here on this forum. Your friend should NOT try to stay in Canada illegally as he will find himself jeopardizing any future chances of immigrating legally in the future. The short-term gain is not worth the long-term pain, believe me! If he stays illegally and is eventually deported, he will find it pretty much impossible to EVER come again in the future as he will have blown his chances. An illegal immigrant does not find it easy to locate "under the table" work in Canada and he would not be able to attend for post-secondary education in Canada if he does not have legal status to be here.

Answer 4

Go to to the Canadian consulate nearest to your city and ask for the procedures on how to apply for a Canadian visa.
It doesn't matter if you don't have relatives but you will have to give valid reasons for your period of stay and a good bank balance.

Answer 6
