I will be travelling to Canada and I have a Canadian visa on my Indian passport. However, I got the visa while I was in Japan (at present I'm in Japan). But I want to go to India before I go to Canada. Can I do it without causing complications, as the Canadian visa was issued by Canadian consulate in Japan? Visa type is study permit.

1Why do you think there may be complications? When does your visa expire? Do you intend to return to Japan after your trip?– TravellerApr 19, 2018 at 11:22

@Traveller I was wondering if the place of issue as mentioned on Visa holds any importance as to that`s the only place from where one can come to the country of which one holds the visa?– Henry VApr 20, 2018 at 0:03

Have you tried asking the Canadian consulate in Japan that issued your visa?– TravellerApr 22, 2018 at 8:51

Canada does not care where you were before you enter Canada, as long as you have the valid visa.

Thanks a lot. This logically makes sense but can you reference some source - that will be quite helpful @DJClayworth– Henry VApr 20, 2018 at 0:05

I don't think Canada has even considered that someone might ask this. Apr 20, 2018 at 1:24
