I'm due for a new one soon. The local visa guy at work says I need to go to Ottawa to get the visa applied (he hasn't started the process yet). I'm under the impression I should be able to get one in London or Amsterdam. Does anyone have experience with this?

As far as I know, the 6 month multiple entry visa facility was only for UK citizens.

The only option is Malta if your company has any connections there.

We got our work and residence visas stamped in Malta instead of Canada. Saved me a trip to Ottawa.

You should be able to get the visa in London - my (Nigerian) wife and daughter were issued their visas in London as there isn't a Libyan embassy in Nigeria. It's something that your HR dept would need to arrange with the immigration.
