VISITOR VISA / TRV

Every year more than 35 million people visit Canada. Canada welcomes these visitors as tourists, students or temporary workers. As a visitor, you will enjoy the many opportunities Canada has to offer.

The immigration rules established by the Canadian government requires all visitors, except those exempt by regulation, to obtain a visitor visa before coming to Canada. Applicants must demonstrate to visa officials that they have significant family, social, economic and cultural ties to their country of origin and that they have sufficient means to support themselves during their visit to Canada. Applicants must also satisfy visa officials that there is no risk that they will overextend their visit to Canada.

To visit Canada you:

• must be healthy;
• must respect Canadian laws;
• will need a valid passport, proof of who you are or other travel documents; and
• may need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
