Hello,

In the mid of July I will be going on a holiday to New Foundland, for this I need a tourist visa. At around the 9th of August I will be leaving again to my homeland the Netherlands. However, about two weeks later I will be going to Montreal to do a Internship as a self-funded researcher. A dutch citizen can enter Canada with a tourist visa when being a self-funded researcher. My question now is: what will be the beginning date of my tourist visa, will it be the second time I will enter Canada?
I hope so because this visa is only valid for 6 months!

I hope someone can help me!

Quebec and Newfoundland are in the same country!
Yes I know, that Is why I am asking this because in between I will be in the Netherlands. But the question is am I long enough outside Canada to get a new tourist visa?

I don't think you need a visa to enter Canada, and Canada does not have tourist visa.
