No it is not. A visa is a specific permission you apply for before obtaining entry into a country. A passport is merely a proof of citizenship. For example, American citizens travelling abroad require an American passport to re-enter the USA. However being American citizens, they would not require a visa.
If you hold a Canadian passport and intend to stay in the UK for 6 months or less as a visitor, you do not normally need to apply for a visa before travelling. But some categories of visitors do require visas. You should also apply for a visa if you have any unspent criminal convictions in any country or you have an adverse UK immigration history.
I guess the OP won't be coming back to explain himself. He's off in another forum starting a thread about the joys of prostitutes. So much for the girlfriend. LOL
