Do I need a Canadian visa to travel to Canada even if I have an American visa?

Question

I require a Canadian visa to enter Canada. However, I have an American visa. Would I still need to apply for a Canadian visa, or will the American visa work?

Answer 1

If you are an American citizen than all you need is an American Visa to go into Canda ,If your Canadian  citizen you need a Canadian Visa to go into the  U.S.

Answer 2

please understand that the visa you received for America is only  good for America

in order to enter Canada you need a visa from Canada

each country has to give you a visa ,their own visa

so ,no , it will not work ,apply for a visa for Canada

Answer 3

On behalf of citizens of both Canada and the US I would like to clarify that each country  is a sovereign nation with its own government and immigration policies.  A visa to one country does not have any legal bearing on permission to seek entry into the other country.  In other words, to enter both countries, you would need a visa for each country.

Answer 4

I take it you are not an Amercian citizen so you would need a passport the enter Canada. If you wanted to work here than you would need a Visa. Extended stays or entry as a student also require a visa.
