VISITOR VISA

A Temporary Resident Visa is also known as a visitor visa. With over 5 million visitors visiting Canada every year, Canada is open to visitors from everywhere in the world. Visitors to Canada are required to obtain approval from the administration of Canada before coming to the country.

Nationality is the leading conclusive determinant as to whether you need a Temporary Resident Visa before travelling to Canada. If you are a citizen of a country that Canada has excused from the Temporary Resident Visa condition, you must rather get an Electronic Travel Authorization before travelling to Canada by air.

Visitors from all other countries need to take a Temporary Resident Visa. Most Temporary Resident Visa applications are processed in a matter of days or weeks. However, the processing time and processing requirements vary from one visa post to another. Visa holders are usually approved for a multiple-entry visa, allowing them to leave and re-enter Canada without needing to re-apply.
