    Canadian ordinary passports: named advance mission visa routes

    Government of Canada guidance describes a pre-departure mission-issued visa route for each listed destination, rather than an electronic or border-issued visa.

    • LY: visas are issued only to residents in the application country, after in-person embassy or consulate submission; mail applications are not accepted.
    • SY: non-Arab nationals cannot obtain a visa at border points and must obtain it from a Syrian embassy or consulate before departure. Israeli and certain Egyptian/Jordanian-border stamps can result in denial.
    • This does not classify journalist special permission, business, work, study, residence, transit, special documents, operational restrictions or final admission.
