is there a fiance visa for canada?

[aapak]

Hello everyone.. can anyone tell me whether canada has a fiance visa like the US?

There is no Fiance visa for Canada - unfortunately...

your options if you are getting married are to either apply inland or outland.

This will direct you, depending on the way which you choose to go, there are pro's and con's to either way.

wish it could be. US process is much simpler than Canadian in this case. alas Canada stopped it several years ago.

I agree Suin, but it was stopped due to repetitive visa mis-use and abuse aka fraudulent cases...

Don't forget the common-law option. If you live together for 1 year, then you're common-law partners and can aply as such.
