Canada Visit Visa
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly known as a visitor visa or Canada Tourist visa, is an official document granted by a Canadian visa office and affixed to your passport. This serves as evidence that you have fulfilled the necessary conditions for entry into Canada as a temporary resident, whether for purposes such as tourism, studying, or employment.
Eligibility
To obtain a visitor visa, you are required to fulfill certain fundamental criteria, including:
- Possessing a valid travel document, such as a passport.
- Maintaining good health.
- Having no criminal or immigration-related convictions.

- Persuading an immigration officer that you will depart Canada upon the conclusion of your visit.
- Possessing sufficient financial resources to cover your stay.
- The specific amount depends on the duration of your visit and whether you will be staying in a hotel, with friends, or with relatives.
- Undergoing a medical examination and, in some cases, providing a letter of invitation from a Canadian resident may also be necessary.
