Visit Canada: How To Apply for a Visitor Visa

Canada is known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and welcoming culture. Whether you want to visit family, explore Canada’s tourist attractions, or attend a business event, you may need a Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa - TRV) to enter Canada.

Our team is here to help you navigate the visa application process and ensure a smooth entry into Canada.

 

What is a Visitor Visa?

A Visitor Visa (TRV) is an official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to enter Canada for a temporary stay. This visa is typically required for:

✔ Tourism and leisure travel
✔ Visiting family and friends
✔ Business visits (meetings, conferences, negotiations)
✔ Short-term courses (less than 6 months)

​

Who Needs a Visitor Visa?

Most travelers from non-visa-exempt countries need a Visitor Visa to enter Canada. However, if you are from a visa-exempt country, you may only need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to Canada.

✔ Visa-Exempt Countries – If you're from a country that qualifies for an eTA, you do not need a visitor visa but must apply for an eTA before flying to Canada.
✔ U.S. Citizens – Do not need a visa or eTA but must carry valid identification when entering Canada.

If you’re unsure whether you need a Visitor Visa or an eTA, we can help determine your requirements.

​

Visitor Visa Requirements

To apply for a Visitor Visa (TRV), you must:

✔ Have a valid passport
✔ Show proof of ties to your home country (such as a job, property, or family) to demonstrate you will leave Canada after your visit
✔ Provide proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Canada
✔ Have a clean criminal record and, in some cases, pass a medical exam
✔ Provide an invitation letter (if visiting family or attending an event)

 

How to Apply for a Visitor Visa

  1. Determine Your Eligibility – We will assess whether you need a Visitor Visa or an eTA based on your nationality.

  2. Prepare Your Documents – We will help you compile all the required documents for a complete application.

  3. Submit Your Application – Applications can be submitted online or at a visa application center (VAC) in your country.

  4. Wait for Processing & Decision – Once approved, you will receive a visa stamp in your passport, allowing you to travel to Canada.

 

How Long Can You Stay in Canada?

✔ A Visitor Visa typically allows you to stay in Canada for up to 6 months per visit.
✔ Border officers determine the exact length of your stay upon arrival.
✔ Extensions may be possible if you apply before your status expires.

 

Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents

If you want to bring your parents or grandparents to Canada for an extended stay, they may qualify for a Super Visa, which allows multiple entries and stays of up to 5 years at a time.
