Form my own good

Just finished filling in the forms to request the Canadian visa for a trip to Quebec on spring. Gee, they ask so many useless questions, like the full date of birth of each and every person you plan to visit. Well, is that visit, like, to stay with as a guest, or just having a cup of tea at someone's place also count? Nay, you wouldn't know, because the forms are totally dumb and the official websites that should answer to that kind of question simply don't. And don't even dream of ringing the embassy!

Besides, they require some personal stuff like IRS statements and proof of employment, an invitation letter from your host, ask how much money you have available for the trip (should I insert all my savings or just how much I plan to spend?) and the activities you plan to carry out while in the country. And I'm sure the officers will ask it all again on my arrival. Gosh, do immigration procedures really have to be that obnoxious?!

I hope...

...you're not under the impression that it's any easier to get an American visa. Take a gander at this:
