What is a Visitor Visa?

A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa or TRV) allows you to visit Canada for tourism, business, or to visit family and friends. It is an official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that is placed in your passport.

Visitor visas can be single-entry (valid for up to 6 months) or multiple-entry (valid for up to 10 years). Each visit is typically limited to 6 months, though you may be allowed to stay for up to 6 months at the port of entry. Some visitors may be eligible for extensions up to an additional 6 months.

Whether you're planning a vacation, attending a business meeting, or visiting loved ones, we can help you navigate the visitor visa application process and ensure your documents are prepared correctly.
