Tourist Visa (Visitor Visa)

Do you intend to travel to Canada? Go to lovely locations, see family and friends, and visit tourist attractions? Then, you and other foreign nationals have the option to visit Canada with the aid of a visiting visa.

You must apply for a visitor visa in order to enter Canada temporarily, regardless of whether you are an international student, a temporary worker, or a tourist.

What Kinds of Visitor Visas Are There?

There are two distinct visiting visa categories, which are explained below.

You can enter Canada as a temporary resident with the use of a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). You do not need to apply for a TRV if you are from a nation that does not require a visa.

The term "Visitor Visa" is also used to describe the TRV.

You are permitted to enter Canada just once while your visa is valid.

A multiple-entry visa can be obtained for a maximum of ten years or one month before your passport expires, whichever comes first.

You are permitted as many re-entries into Canada throughout the validity period as you like with the multiple-entry visa.A guest is permitted to stay for a maximum of six months from the date of arrival.

Who Can Obtain a Visitor Visa?

If you meet the requirements listed below, you are qualified to enter Canada as a visitor:

Have a valid travel authorization.
Show that you have enough links to your native country or where you live.
Have sufficient finances to cover your stay.
Be in good health and not be barred from entering due to a crime, a violation of human rights, or any security concern.

There are a number of restrictions on the permitted length of stay. In order to verify, identify and assess prior offenses or difficulties with Canadian immigration, citizens of several nations could be asked for biometric data.

Options for Visitor Visas

Study Permit

With a study permit, you can enroll as an international student at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada.

Super Visa

The Super Visa was explicitly created for grandparents and parents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents who want to spend a lot of time with their relatives. They can remain in Canada for up to two years on a Super Visa without the requirement for any additional extensions.

Business Visitor

A person who travels to Canada on business may do so as long as their actions have no direct impact on the country's labor market. You may widen your professional network and attend business conferences or events with a business visitor visa.

Temporary Residence for World Athletes and Related Occupations

World athletes, coaches, referees, and other professionals with associated vocations may be granted temporary residence in Canada, depending on the nature of their visit.

Visitor Record Extension

Extending your visitor visa enables you to stay in Canada longer than is permitted. You can find a new expiration date for your departure in a visitor record. Applications for extensions should be submitted 30 days before your current allowed stay ends.

Visa Extension

Holders of work permits and study permits who have visas that are about to expire may need to apply for extensions. The bearer of a work permit or study permit may stay in Canada until the date stated on the document. A new visa, however, will make it simpler to enter and exit Canada.
