A Visitor Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows you to visit Canada for tourism, business, or to visit family and friends. Here are the key steps and requirements:

Who Needs a Visitor Visa

Most travelers need a visitor visa to enter Canada. However, some travelers may only need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if they are from visa-exempt countries.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a visitor visa, you must:
⭐ Have a valid travel document (passport).
⭐ Be in good health.
⭐ Have no criminal or immigration-related convictions.
⭐ Convince an immigration officer that you have ties (such as a job, home, financial assets, or family) that will take you back to your home country.
⭐ Convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit.
⭐ Have enough money for your stay. The amount of money you will need can vary depending on the length of your stay and whether you will stay with friends, family, or in a hotel.

Application Process

⭐ Prepare Your Documents: Gather all necessary documents, including your passport, proof of funds, and any other supporting documents.
⭐ Apply Online: Submit your application online through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.
⭐ Biometrics: You may need to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) as part of your application.
⭐ Processing Time: The processing time can vary, so it’s best to apply well in advance of your planned travel.
