Visitor Visa Application

Canada is a country of stunning natural landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage. Whether you're planning to visit family and friends, explore the majestic outdoors, or attend business meetings, a Visitor Visa is your gateway to experiencing all that Canada has to offer. We are here to guide you through the visitor visa application process, ensuring a smooth and successful journey.

What is a Visitor Visa?
A Visitor Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), is an official document issued by the Canadian government that allows foreign nationals to enter Canada for a temporary stay. This visa is required for tourists, individuals visiting family or friends, business travelers, and anyone else planning to visit Canada for a short duration.

​

Who Needs a Visitor Visa?
Most foreign nationals require a Visitor Visa to enter Canada. However, citizens from visa-exempt countries may only need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to visit Canada. Our team at L3J Immigration Consulting can help you determine whether you need a Visitor Visa or an eTA based on your nationality and travel plans.

​

Types of Visitor Visas
Canada offers two main types of Visitor Visas:

  • Single-Entry Visa: This visa allows you to enter Canada once. After you leave, you will need a new visa to return to Canada, unless you are traveling to the United States or Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

  • Multiple-Entry Visa: This visa allows you to enter and exit Canada as many times as you wish during the visa’s validity period, up to 10 years.

​

How to Apply for a Visitor Visa
Applying for a Visitor Visa involves several steps:

  • Determine Your Eligibility: To be eligible for a Visitor Visa, you must demonstrate that you meet the requirements, including having a valid travel document (such as a passport), being in good health, having no criminal or immigration-related convictions, and having sufficient funds for your stay.

  • Prepare Your Application: Your Visitor Visa application must include several key documents, such as a valid passport, proof of financial support, a letter of invitation from friends or family in Canada (if applicable), and ties to your home country to demonstrate that you will return after your visit.

  • Submit Your Application: Applications can be submitted online or at a visa application center (VAC). Our consultants will help you prepare and submit a complete and accurate application to avoid delays or refusals.

  • Provide Biometrics: Depending on your country of origin, you may need to provide biometrics (fingerprints and a photo) as part of your application. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure that all requirements are met.

  • Await Processing: After submitting your application, you will need to wait for it to be processed. Processing times can vary depending on your location and the time of year. We’ll keep you informed of your application status and any additional steps required.

  • Receive Your Visa: If your application is approved, your Visitor Visa will be stamped in your passport, allowing you to travel to Canada. Upon arrival, you may be asked to show your visa and answer questions about your visit by a Canadian border services officer.
