Many of us are keen to visit Canada with the hopes and possibilities of a great new beginning. Honoring this intent of people the Canadian Government introduced Visitor Visa years ago. A Visitor visa is also called a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). A Visitor visa is a crucial document that allows foreign nationals to travel to, enter, and live in Canada for a short duration of time. They can stay temporarily in Canada for school, tourism, business, conferences, or to meet family and friends. Canada requires the citizens of specific countries to obtain a Visitor visa to enter Canada, irrespective of the purpose of their visit.
Visitor Visas can be categorized into mainly 2 types: Single Entry Visas and Multiple Entry Visas. As the name suggests, the single entry visa allows the holder to enter Canada for only one time and is issued under unique and extraordinary circumstances. On the other hand, the multiple entry visa lets the foreign national enter and exit Canada multiple times until the expiry of the Visa and is issued automatically in a majority of the cases.
The holder of a Multiple Entry Visa has the privilege of traveling and living in Canada for a maximum period of 6 months per visit. They can travel multiple times to Canada until the validity of the said visa expires. The validity period of the multiple entry visa depends on the discretion of the visa officer who issues it. If you have a study permit/ work permit and are from a non-visa-exempt country, then you are issued a Visitor Visa automatically. It is important to note that as long as your work permit and visa are valid you can leave Canada temporarily and re-enter.
Visitor visa is designed for non-Canadian citizens and Permanent residents. Foreign nationals from non-visa-exempt countries are required to apply for Visitor visa.
Non-Canadian citizens and Permanent residents who are foreign nationals of visa-exempt countries do not require a Visitor visa to enter Canada. The only document they need to enter Canada by air is an eTA or an electronic travel authorization.
If these foreign nationals choose to travel to Canada by land or sea, only a valid passport issued by the visa-exempt country is sufficient to travel.
U.S. citizens require only a valid U.S. passport to enter Canada if they are willing to stay in Canada for not more than six months period. Permanent residents of the U.S. and Green card holders are also visa-exempt and require only a valid Green Card and U.S. passport to enter Canada.
Applicants willing to apply for a Visitor visa of Canada can either opt to apply online or with a paper application or by applying at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) in person. If you are willing to travel as a family, then every single family member needs to complete the application. At times, based on the country of citizenship, applicants may be required to submit information about biometrics in their respective applications. At the biometric collection service point, one needs to give fingerprints and photographs while submitting for biometrics.
A holder of the Visitor visa can live in Canada for a maximum span of 6 months for each visit irrespective of holding a Single Entry Visa or Multiple Entry Visa. The applicant must leave the country after the said period as their legal status as a visitor in Canada expires. In case, if the applicant is willing to extend his/ her stay, they need to apply for an extension at least 30 days before the expiry of their legal status as a visitor in Canada.
There have been several instances of Visitor visa rejection. The following are the reasons that can lead to the rejection of a Visitor Visa application.
A Visitor visa is one of the most accessible pathways to enter and live in Canada. Initially, the applicant may be allowed to stay for a shorter duration, but you can always apply for an extension. There are ample opportunities to apply for Permanent Residency through several Canadian Immigration programs, provided you are eligible. If you are keen on applying for a Visitor visa, you may do it on your own or through some professional Immigration consultants like Canoz Visa Services, who are engaged in Immigration consultation services.

If anyone is planning to immigrate to Canada or Australia, I strongly suggest reaching out to them from the very beginning. They truly provide world-class services. Thank you Harsimrat for all the efforts. I am really grateful. :)Shuja Rahman2024-02-10Bakhash was immensely helpful with our work visa process to Australia 🔆, from the time we called until the end he helped us throughout the whole process and made it very simple and clear. CanOz staff were very polite and accommodating. This is the person you want to go to if you want to get things done quickly and efficiently without any hassles. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, thank you so much!Tiegan Murphy2024-02-03Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!Arjun R'Krishnan2024-02-03My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh's recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
