Visitor Visa
Stay And Travel Around Canada Temporarily with A Visitor Visa
A visitor visa is an official document that allows citizens from visa-required nations to visit and stay in Canada.
- The visiting visa is kept in the passport.
- It proves that you meet the entry requirements for Canada.
- It specifies the deadline for your arrival in Canada.
- The date does not indicate the end of your stay in Canada.
- If you apply for a study or work permit for the first time, you will be issued a visiting visa when your application is approved.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements for Visitor Visa?
To obtain a visitor visa, you must do the following:
- Be in healthy condition, and have a valid travel document such as a passport.
- Have no criminal or immigration convictions.
- Convince an immigration officer that you have ties to your home country, such as a job, a home, financial assets, or family, that will allow you to return home at the end of your visit.
- Convince an immigration officer that you shall leave Canada by the end of your visit.
- Have enough money to cover your expenses.
- The quantity of money you’ll need is determined by how long you’ll be staying and whether you’ll be staying in a hotel or with friends or family.
- You may also require a medical examination and a letter of invitation from a Canadian resident.
How Long Can You Stay with A Visitor Visa?
Most travelers can stay in Canada for up to six months. The border services officer at the point of entry may authorize you to stay for less than or more than six months. If that’s the case, they’ll stamp your passport with the date you need to leave by. They may also provide you with a guest record, which will detail the date by which you must depart.
