    Rang USIT this morning who said they only deal with Irish passports. I'm entitled to an Irish passport but I want to get going by late February/early March so I want to secure a VISA before a waiting list starts building up. She said call the British equivalent of which she had no information..

    You don't need a visa to visit Canada but as you contacted USIT I guess that you're a student planning on working in Canada ?

    If this is the case then I'd imagine that you'd be very, very lucky to get a visa to work in Feb/March 2009.

    Really? My mate applied for one last month and got it in a couple of weeks. He's an Irish passport holder. Apparently there's no waiting list at the moment. Is that what would make it take so long? Oh and yeah, I'm a student here on a year out.

    Can you not contact the Canadian embassy?

    OK. Well the link I provided is for British students. You'll have to contact the British version of USIT I guess.

    Try this site:

    Though it might only apply to UK residents. They may be able to help though.

    Yeah it looks like all those ways demand I be a British resident or in a British University, think I may apply for an Irish passport but I'll check with USIT first.
