Is Bhutan or Canada easier to get a tourist visa for?

Bhutan asks for less money in the bank and Bhutan decides faster. Approval depends more on clean documents than on the destination; both refuse mainly for inconsistent funds and weak ties.

Can I apply for Bhutan and Canada at the same time?

Yes for e-visas, since no passport is held. If either is a sticker visa the passport is with that consulate, so sequence the sticker application first or use the second passport option where your country allows one.

Which is better value, Bhutan or Canada?

Bhutan is cheaper per traveller, but value depends on validity: Bhutan is valid 14 days and Canada Up to 10 years. A longer, multiple-entry visa costs less per trip.

Where do these figures come from?

Government fees, processing windows and funds figures are taken from the official Bhutan and Canada sources cited on each destination page and re-checked when the authorities publish changes.
