Call the musician's union at 385-3954. They have all of the forms and info. Don't worry, you don't have to be a member. - Wed, 21 Jan 2004 6:21am

basically to get a visa all members of a bands have to be members of the musicians union, then you have to hand in your application for the visa with a confirmed show for every 30 days (up to 1 year) that you want the visa to be valid for. you have to have these shows booked and confirmed 120 days in advance. Otherwise you hand in the application 15 days prior to your scheduled entry (but i would really make it 20) and you pay a 1000$ USD 'expedited processing' fee. the crappy thing is that american musicians can play in canada without doing this... uuugghhh but the musician's union people are great and will help you with whatever you need - Wed, 21 Jan 2004 11:22am
