THE BASICS

What is a visitor visa?

A visitor visa, officially a Temporary Resident Visa, lets you enter Canada for a short stay, usually up to six months. Many travellers need one. Citizens of some countries need only an eTA if they fly in.

Multiple entries, up to 10 years

How the process works

  1. 1

    Check what you need

    A visa, an eTA, or neither, depending on your passport and how you travel.

  2. 2

    Build your case

    Funds, employment, family and a clear plan for your visit.

  3. 3

    Apply and give biometrics

    We file, book your biometrics appointment and follow your application.

Previously refused a visitor visa?

Reapplying without changes rarely works. We review the refusal and fix what the officer questioned first.

Inviting someone to Canada?

An invitation letter helps but is not a guarantee. We help you write one that actually adds value.

Staying with family for longer?

For parents and grandparents there may be a better option than a visitor visa.
