Sorry Roan, I wanted to say the same thing you did but i failed.
2nd attempt: Citizens from any other country, with a canadian visa, still need a USA visa to get into USA.
Or more detailed in Roan's mail ;)

Justin, canadians also need visa to be in USA, so ask for a canandian

doesn't help.
Canadians don't need a visa for most short visits. But by "Canadians" I mean people with a Canadian passport. If you have a Brazilian passport, it doesn't matter how you enter the US (by air, land or sea, directly from Brazil or via Canada), you will need a US visa. A Canadian visa won't help you get into the US at all: the US and Canada are separate countries with border controls between them (the border isn't open like the one between the UK and Ireland, or the borders between Schengen countries in Europe).
That said, I hear it's possible to get a visa from a US consulate in Canada, which I presume will have shorter waiting times than some consulates elsewhere. But this is probably not allowed in most circumstances if you're not a Canadian citizen. In the OP's case where his country of citizenship doesn't have a consulate or embassy and he's gonna have to apply in a third country anyway, it might just be allowed, I guess. But Canada is a lot farther from Iran than Turkey or the UAE and doesn't have visa-free travel for Iranians either, so you'd have to get a visa in order to get a visa :P . I wouldn't know what sort of choice you have in choosing the country where you apply for a visa and whether you're allowed to apply in a country farther away from Iran where waiting times are shorter. You should probably talk to an immigration lawyer about that sort of thing.
