Visitor Visa
A Visitor Visa allows you to enter Canada for tourism, visiting family or friends, attending events, or short-term business purposes.
Processing times vary by country. Government fees start from $100 CAD.
Most travellers need a visitor visa to travel to Canada. A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa) is an official document placed in the passport to show that a traveler meets the requirements needed to enter Canada.
A visa officer has discretion to issue you a single-entry visa or multiple entry visa and decide how long it will be valid for. Generally, a visitor visa may be valid for up to a maximum of 10 years, or until the expiry of either your passport or biometrics, whichever comes first.
Most visitors can stay for up to 6 months in Canada. At the port of entry, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months. If that’s the case, they’ll put the date you need to leave by in your passport. They might also give you a document, called a visitor record, which will show the date you need to leave by. Super visa holders who enter Canada after June 22, 2023 can stay for 5 years.
