Visitor Visa & eTA

Foreign nationals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents generally require either a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV — commonly called a visitor visa) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada, depending on their country of citizenship. Citizens of visa-exempt countries travelling by air require an eTA, while citizens of non-exempt countries require a TRV. Most visitors are authorized to stay for up to six months at a time.

A visitor visa application requires proof of financial support, ties to the home country, a clear purpose of visit, and a credible intent to leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay. Refusals are common when applications are incomplete or when the officer is not satisfied with the applicant's ties.
