Visitor Visa Canada

What is a visitor's visa?

An immigration officer will issue a visiting visa, sometimes known as a “temporary resident visa” (or TRV for short), which permits you to enter Canada.An official counterfoil is inserted into a person’s passport and needs to be shown at the port of entry while entering Canada.

Does obtaining a visitor's visa provide you with automatic entry into Canada?

No, the Canadian Border Services Agency officer at the port of entry makes the final decision. The foreign national’s ability and willingness to depart Canada at the end of their visit must be confirmed to the border services officer. You might not be allowed to enter the nation if the office determines you don’t meet all of these standards. But in actuality, this is an uncommon occurrence.

Types of visitor visas in Canada

There are two primary types of Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs): single entry and multiple entry. You are only permitted to enter Canada once with a single entry visa; further entries will require an application for a new visa. You can enter Canada more than once if you have a multiple-entry visa. Its normal 10-year validity is capped by the duration of your passport, which typically expires one month before the visa expires.

How much time may I spend as a temporary visitor in Canada?

The average visitor’s stay in Canada is limited to six months. Super Visa holders can stay for five years.After two years, this is a recent change.

Is it possible for my temporary visitor visa to be extended?

Yes, the border services officer can allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months. In this case, they will put the date you need to leave in your passport. If the border services officer hasn’t put any date in your passport, you must leave before the expiration date of your visa or 6 months, whatever is earlier.

What if my visitor status expires while I'm in Canada?

You must depart the nation before your status expires to meet admission requirements.
