TLDR : Answer Summary
As a Canadian passport holder, you won't need a visa for your stays in Thailand from February 19 to February 25 and from March 10 to March 24, as you will be granted visa exemption for 30 days on each entry. However, for Vietnam, you will need to apply for a 30-day single entry tourist visa online in advance.

You wouldn’t need a visa for those dates. As a Canadian passport holder you’d be stamped in visa exempt for 30 days on each entry.

you’re right; canadians are not on the lucky list like France 🇫🇷, UK 🇬🇧 and a few more.

Vietnam 🇻🇳 as know evisa or maybe possibility to get one on arrival but that would have to be verified.

Actually there are some 25 countries that don’t need a visa for Vietnam ranging from 14 to 90 days depending on nationality.

Canada isn’t one of them though.
