Applying for a Canada visitor visa is quite easy as everything can be arranged prior to your visit to the country,
provided you are from a country or territory that requires a visa.
A Canada visitor visa is an official document stamped in your passport. It shows that you meet the basic requirements
needed to travel to Canada. Most visitors will need this visa regardless of the length of their stay.
Below are the main requirements needed to proceed with your visitor visa application.
Visitor Visa Requirements
Obtaining a Canada visitor visa or Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) requires:
- Valid passport or equivalent travel document
- Proof of medical fitness or good health
- Proof of economic and financial ties such as employment, property, family, or financial assets showing a strong likelihood of return
- Intent to leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay
- No criminal or immigration-related offenses
- Adequate financial support for the duration of stay
Applicants may be required to undergo a medical exam or provide a letter of invitation from a host in Canada.
Some individuals may be inadmissible due to criminality, security concerns, human rights violations,
or health and financial issues.
Those who are admissible may receive either a single-entry or a multiple-entry visa.
Single-entry Visitor Visa
This visa allows one entry into Canada. After leaving, you must apply again unless visiting the U.S., St. Pierre, or Miquelon.
Multiple-entry Visitor Visa
This visa allows leaving and re-entering Canada multiple times, provided no stay exceeds six months.
Both visa types are valid only for their issued duration and cannot be reused after expiration.
