Hassle for Malaysians to get Canadian visa


CANADA is a destination that draws many to visit, study or call home, thanks to the friendly and welcoming attitude this country has come to be known for.

Unfortunately, those virtues do not extend to its visa regime – at least not to Malaysian passport holders. In 2002, Canada imposed visa requirements on Malaysians in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States of America, citing “security concerns” with our passports.
