Q: I will visit vietnam in Jan 3 2008, how can I apply the tourist visa from Canada .
A: there is no consulate in Vancouver, but you could ring up the consular section of the embassy in Ottawa at (613) 236 1398 and confirm that the processing time really is 5 days like the website says. Then you could send in your passport, application, fee and photos with an express return envelope. You could then wait for your passport with visa to come back to you in the mail in a week and a bit. see the link for more details good luck!!
