Visitor’s Visa

All About Visit To Canada

The process of visiting Canada as a tourist or business traveler involves obtaining a visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA), depending on the individual’s citizenship and residency status. Canadian permanent residents cannot apply for visitor visas and must obtain a PRTD instead.

A visitor visa, also known as a temporary resident visa, is a document that is attached to the passport and signifies that the traveler meets the necessary requirements to enter Canada. Most travelers are required to have a visitor visa, including those who are only transiting through a Canadian airport.

Canada offers a variety of visa options for visitors, from simple single-entry tourist visas to more complex multiple-entry visas. However, individuals who are exempt from visa requirements through one of Canada’s agreements with other countries do not need a visa or an eTA.
