Tourist Visa

Canada

A Canada Visitor Visa is an official endorsement attached to your passport, granted by a Canadian Visa Office, indicating that you fulfill the criteria for temporary residency in the country, whether as a tourist, student, or worker. This type of visa is formally referred to as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).

The allure of Canada is undeniable. It presents a unique chance to immerse yourself in the country’s boundless beauty. From expansive stretches of lush green landscapes to majestic oceans, coupled with amiable people and thriving urban centers, Canada offers a blend of experiences. The nation provides a serene and inviting ambiance that appeals to everyone’s aspirations.

Since Canada does not allow Indians to travel without a visa, you will be required to apply for a Canada visit visa, which has a 6-month validity period. This visa allows travelers to travel freely and peacefully across the country. You can apply for this visa for a variety of reasons, including exploring Canada or being a dependent or family of someone who already lives in Canada.

WHY VISIT CANADA?

Canada’s natural beauty, with its untamed wilderness encompassing hidden lakes, lush forests, towering mountains, and majestic glaciers, stands as an unparalleled spectacle on the global stage. Welcoming over 35 million visitors annually, this remarkable country is often regarded as one that truly enriches life. It stands out as one of the world’s most culturally diverse destinations.

Canada’s appeal extends beyond its breathtaking landscapes; its urban centers are cosmopolitan havens that offer safety, friendliness, cleanliness, and a tapestry of cultures.

Encompassing diverse terrains ranging from mountains to beaches and even glaciers, Canada is undeniably a remarkable choice. Every 2000 square feet presents a world of opportunities – awe-inspiring fjords, exquisite hiking trails, and vast tablelands. Canada is a nation that revels in celebration. Quebec City hosts the world’s largest winter carnival, while Montreal boasts the world’s largest comedy and jazz festival.

Canada’s culinary scene is a fusion of local flavors, mirroring its rich diversity. The eastern coast offers the freshest seafood, rooted in a century-old tradition of fishing. Quebec delights with globally renowned cheese, maple syrup, smoked meat, poutine, and bagels. New Brunswick takes pride in being the birthplace of one of the most beloved culinary creations – the French fry.

WHO IS A VISITOR

A definition of a visitor is given under Sec. 2 (1) of The Immigration Act (Act) as a person who is lawfully in Canada as a visitor or who wishes to come into Canada for a temporary purpose and who is not:

  1. A holder of a minister’s permit;
  2. A Canadian permanent resident and citizen;
  3. An immigrant who is admitted into Canada as his/her examination cannot be concluded at the port of entry by the officer.

TYPES OF VISITOR VISA

There are two types of visitor visas that can be issued:

Single Entry Visas

A single entry visa allows you to enter Canada one time. A single entry visa can be issued up to 6 months before the date of travel. Generally, single-entry visas are issued for 6 months.

Multiple Entry visas

A multiple-entry visa allows you to enter Canada multiple times from your home country. Multiple entry visas can be issued for up to 5 years (so long as your passport is still valid for that time).


NOTE- If CIC has any doubt about issuing a multiple entry visa, it will not issue a single entry visa as a compromise – it will simply reject your application.

Canadian Tourist Visa Updates:

COVID-19 related updates:

If you are traveling by air, you must fulfill all airline rules and pass a health check before being allowed to board your aircraft. Individuals exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms will be denied entry into Canada by air. Before you depart the port of entry in Canada (POE), the authorities will examine your health status.

When you arrive in Canada, you must have a plan in place for a 14-day quarantine. It is required, even if you do not have any symptoms.
