Visiting US; want a visa to visit Canada

[a980]

Hi all,

My Indian friends are visiting US (New York) and want to come visit me and my family in Canada (Toronto). There is no time (given the festival week in India) to apply for a Canadian visa in India because they are flying out next week.

Can they arrive in NY and then apply for a Canadian tourist visa that will enable them to come and stay with me for 2 days? They have a 10-yr multiple entry US visa so going back to the US to get their flight back to India shouldn't be a problem. But I wd love it if they can stay at least a day with me. Does anyone know if the process of acquiring a temporary visitor visa to Canada from NY is time-consuming or painful? I assume they will have to pay 75$ each for a single-entry visa, no? Is there any other option?

Thanks for your help!
