The Canada Visitor Visa is a popular choice for applicants
wishing to visit Canada
for a temporary period of up to 6 months.
Visas are available under three different categories:
A single entry
Canada Visitor Visa:
This allows you to visit
Canada only once (unless traveling to the US or St. Pierre and
Miquelon) and is valid for a period of 6 months only. You can apply
to extend your Canadian Visitor Visa if needed and will need to make
an application for extension at least 30 days before expiry.
A Multiple Entry
Canada Visitor Visa:
This allows you to enter and depart
Canada on multiple occasions and is valid for up to 6 months,
depending on the issuing case officer. You will need to specify how
long you will require your Canadian Visitor Visa (not exceeding a
six month period) and leave it to the case officer to decide if this
is necessary.
A Transit
Canada Visitor Visa:
This visa was initially designed for those people entering
Canada for a period of 48 hours or less. For example, if your method
of transport has to stop in Canada
and you are from a country that requires you to have a visa to visit
Canada, you will require a Transit Visa.
You are not permitted to work on any of the above Canadian
Tourist Visa categories and some applicants may also need to obtain
a Temporary Resident Visa in addition to the above if they come from
certain countries.
Some basic things to consider before making an application for
a Canada Tourist Visa are:
-
Health issues
(you may be required to undergo a medical examination)
-
Funds to secure
your stay
-
You may need a
letter of invitation from a friend of relative currently residing
in Canada
-
You may require
a Temporary Resident Visa
