So a Canadian that wants to visit on a tourist visa has to apply at an embassy?????!!!! Instead of on the airplane right before landing? Insane. This is going to destroy the tourism industry and collapse business travel.

Schengen works exactly like this. Also Japan I think.
Schengen does not work like that. While you are supposed to apply from the country you are a resident in, if you have valid reasons you can apply from any other country. This is also frequently necessary (eg: traveller without fixed residence).
Well, just happening to be in a different country is not a "valid reason". Maybe for someone from the West it would be accepted, but not for the rest of us.
Also, "a traveler without a fixed residence" can get a non-immigrant visa for Schengen? I'm sorry but this just is not true if you're not a Westerner.

If there is no doubt that you will leave and you can sustain yourself: sure.

Being abroad is already a huge challenge to proving you're going to leave. You're showing you don't have much tethering you to your country of origin.

Canadians don't need a visa to visit the United States for tourism or temporary business travel purposes.
Got it. Thanks for clarifying

This doesn't affect nationals eligible for visa-on-arrival.
Got it. Thanks. That’s a lot better than first impression.

#118Can anyone explain a rational political motivation behind this? I realize "less immigrants" is the hand-wavy explanation, but how does this benefit those in charge?
This might also be tied to the incident with the South Korean nationals in Georgia.
(Note: Georgia as in Atlanta, not Tbilisi.)

Indeed. Sad that people are willing to burn down the engine just to make a point that they're frustrated by things like pronouns. Enoughs enoughs. Wake up silent majority
Keep deluding yourself into thinking a silent majority want the country to be flooded by afghans and syrians.
