Great. Now Canada too requires transit visas for Brazilians. I mean, 
just to pass thru their airports.

Besides showing my bank account balance, I must have a Japanese visa 
valid for at least 6 months if I want to come back to Japan. That means 
I cannot visit home via Canada in the final 6-month period of my visa, 
since I can only renew the Japanese visa when it's about to expire.
Since I haven't got my visa yet, I'll refrain from showing my 
appreciation of Canada.

Via USA is even worse, to get the visa I must go all the way to the 
Embassy to take a freaking interview.
Europe doesn't require visas but the ticket costs about 10 man more, and 
the trip seems to take several days.

I hope Europe follows suit. Then I will have to live in a Japanese airport.
