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

Oman asks for less money in the bank and Oman 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 Oman 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, Oman or Canada?

Oman is cheaper per traveller, but value depends on validity: Oman is valid 30 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 Oman and Canada sources cited on each destination page and re-checked when the authorities publish changes.
