What is a Visitor Visa?
A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa or TRV) is an official document that allows foreign nationals to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, business, or family visits. Most visitor visas are multiple-entry and can be valid for up to 10 years.
With a visitor visa, you can generally stay in Canada for up to 6 months per visit. The visa allows you to explore Canada's natural beauty, visit family and friends, attend business meetings, or participate in short-term activities. Processing times vary by country but typically range from 2-8 weeks.
