No, when you come to Canada you are coming to a different country and although the United States and Canada area quite similar you still need separate Visas to enter them. You can apply at any of the Canadian Consulates or the Embassy in Washington D.C. Depending on which country you are from you may not need to get a Visa in advance. Citizens of many countries can just have their passport stamped when they enter Canada. Again, check with a Canadian Embassy or Consulate before you leave to see which rules apply to you.

No. Canada and the USA have different immigration systems. Students from some countries can enter Canada with just a passport, so these students may easily enter Canada from the United States for a visit or for studies of 6 months or less. For longer studies, a Quebec CAQ and a Canadian Student Visa are required.
