Ani kun Canada ko kun port ma gaye huncha ni, I think there are Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Quebec.

ani kati din lagi janu parcha?

you have to go to the embassy or consulate there. [not the port of entry.]
days does not matter you can get there and return on the same day.

go to place you have not been to (O: company ko expense ma travel garne ta ho ni ...

my personal opinion,
i found vancouver and montreal to be on expensive side.
where as ottawa, and toronto on the cheaper side.

Remeber that you need to get Canadian VISA too (O:

Ani Canadian Visa chahi kasari kaha line ni ?

canadian embassy or consulate ma gayera line.
nabhaye dhekhi mail garera pathaye ni hunchha (O:

Bhanana, Canadian Visa line sabbhanda sajilo tarika ke ho?

Swetaa, if you are close to canadian counsulate office than just go there with your h1b approval notice, appointment letter of US consulate from canada ( you will get this online once you take appointment ) and employer letter this is good enough to get canadian visa. but if live far away from canadian consulate than you have mail it with required fee $85 for single entry and $135 for multiple entry.
In calgary they give h1b visa in same day. But make sure your name does not match with other people in US. If it match than they will do background chek which may take 3-4 weeks.

I did this in toronto about a month ago.
If approved they will give you the VISA NEXT day 3 PM. There may be other places which give same day visa but not TORONTO.

For the canadian visa to go to canada, go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/offices/missions.html
and see the timings of the consulate which are different for different consulates.. this you'll get the same day if you visit in person.. or else upto a month if done through mail.

you get visa in same day in ottawa and montreal.

swetaaaaa,
canadian visa lina line basna janu parchha. you have to submit your application before 10am. you chhai NY ko kura gareko.

pahile ta buffalo ma gayera sameday i.e. before 10am apply garne. and collect the visa @ 11am and head to toronto (O: . you need to check that now.

have fun swetaaaaa

Hi,

Maile Canadian Visa ko lagi male garera pathauna milcha ki mildaina bhanera thaha pauna khojeko, online ma ta bhetena. Ani Canada jane ko kaaran sodhyo bhane ke bhanne ni ?

shweeta ... I'll try to help you out.. coz one of mah co-worker's boyfriend went to canada.. last week.. So, I 'll ask her and see if I can help you.. out...

hey rockend, thank you so much. I will be waiting for the information.

Swetaa,, Why not you go to nepal for H1-b visa stamp? as far as i know,,(since i am also in h1b status) the stamping rate from canada is very low, it means the risk of denying your h1b stamping is very high there. but in nepal ,,the probability of getting stamp is almost 95%. till now,,3 guys,,friends of mine, are rejected from nepal too.so,,it is very wise to go to nepal and get stamp with 95% confidence rather than go to canada with 25% confidence.
but if you have your own problem that dont let you go nepal,,then its upto you.
best of luck swetaa!

ok bhusanb I am planning to go to Nepal for H1b stamping..I got my notice about a month back..and I'lll reach Nepal in Nov 30 or so..is time going to be a factor???What else do I need besides my paystub and letter fromt he the employer??

hushpuppy,,there is no time frame,,once you receive your approval notice,,you can fly. you need to have your paystub,,job offer letter from your company, showing the position you are currently holding, and responsibility,, your US college degree....thats it,,and a little smile on face ,,obviously...bood luck man.

the last part is the toughest to find..thanks bhusanb

But if you guys are flying to canada specially Toronto please make in appointment in advance by visiting www.nvars.com, this is because the counsular office in toronto are backed up for a months and mnohts, Good luck
