I'm a PhD student in Europe, chinese passport with Shengan visa. Would like to have a short holiday in Canada this summer, travel and visit some friends, really important for me.
The problem is that I'm finishing study soon, so my current Shengan visa is not valid for next year (next year will get new Shengan visa). Shall I apply for Canada visa better in Europe or in China? How long it would take for the issuing? Does Canada issue travel visa to Chinese? Is it difficult...I mean very little possibility to get it issued for me? How much do I need to have in my bank account? I was thinking about applying for a very short language course (sth like a summer course) and get a short student visa, instead of travel visa...is that a good idea if the travel visa could be difficult? Please, any suggestion or information, or if you have any similar experience!!! Thanks a lot!!!
