In order to enter Canada, residents of some countries, for example, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, need to get a visa. Visa applications now need to be mailed to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle, which takes considerable time! Here is the link with instructions on how to do that:

Space is limited for all activities, so sign up soon! If you have to cancel, you need to email the office 24 hours before the trip/activity to get a refund.
