A Canada visitor visa can support short-term travel for tourism, family visits or certain business purposes, depending on your profile and travel plans. A strong application should clearly explain why you are traveling, how long you intend to stay and what ties support your return after the visit.
A visitor visa, also called a Temporary Resident Visa, is issued to eligible applicants who meet the entry requirements and satisfy the reviewing officer that the visit is temporary and properly documented.
Below are some of the main points normally reviewed in a visitor visa application.
Visitor Visa Requirements
Applying for a Canada visitor visa or Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) generally involves:
- A valid passport or travel document
- A clear travel purpose and a realistic visit plan
- Financial evidence showing how the trip will be funded
- Ties to your home country such as employment, property, studies or family responsibilities
- A history that supports compliance with immigration conditions
- Any additional medical, invitation or supporting documents required for your case
Depending on the case, applicants may need to provide biometrics, an invitation letter, travel history details or additional supporting explanations.
Some people may face admissibility concerns because of prior refusals, criminal history, medical issues or weak supporting evidence.
Where appropriate, we help present the application clearly so the purpose of travel, supporting documents and return plan are easy to understand.
Single-entry Visitor Visa
A single-entry visa allows entry to Canada one time during the validity period shown on the visa, subject to the conditions of the document and the decision made at the port of entry.
Multiple-entry Visitor Visa
A multiple-entry visa may allow travel to Canada more than once during the validity period, provided the traveler continues to meet the applicable entry conditions each time.
