	I am posting the following article for my friend Ananth
(Ananth_Annapragada%UB-MTS%UMich-MTS.Mailnet@Mit-Multics.Arpa) since he
does not have direct access to usenet.

-------
         A friend of mine from U of Mich whose Visa had expired went to
Canada to try and get a new one. They gave him the ususal song and dance
about "Go back to India and try from there." His response was that he
was going to India on a weeks notice for his sisters wedding, that it
was going to be held in some out of the way village, and that he wouldnt
have time to coordinate a trip to the nearest consulate. He also said
that travel in India was not like here; one canot catch a flight and
leave; travel often means a month of waiting time for train reservations
etc etc. Believe it or not, the consul relented and gave him a one year
multiple entry!!!

         I have got this news second hand, and it might lack accuracy in
minor details, but what I **can** testify to is the bright look on the
fortunate guy's face whenever anyone mentions Canada and Visas!!!
