Hi,

If I hold a USA visa (JI, J2 or B1) on Malaysian passport, do I need a Canadian visa to travel to Canada?

Thank you.

You can apply, but there is a good chance of refusal for "no ties to US" . Note the processing times. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/visitors.asp

Hi PMM,

May I ask why is it if he'll apply in US means "no ties to US" possible refusal eventhough he has legal status in US? So when the refusal letter say "Your family ties in Canada & country of residence" it means ties where you currently live? country of applying? or country of citizenship?

Thanks in advance. Highly appreciated.
