A visitor visa (alternatively termed a temporary residence visa) is a government-issued document that stands as proof that you fulfil Canada’s entry criteria.
The visitors visiting Canada need a visitor visa. Additionally, if you are transiting through a Canadian airport en route to your ultimate destination, you may need one. A visitor visa can be applied online or on paper.
Do you need a visitor visa?
You may require a visitor visa or an ETA. The kind of travel document you require depends on:
- The country you got your travel document issued from.
- Your nationality
- Your mode of travel to Canada for the trip
- The type of travel document you plan to travel with
How long can you stay in Canada with a Tourist Visa?
The majority of tourists visiting Canada are permitted to remain for up to six months.
The border services officer at the point of entry may permit you to remain for less than or more than six months. If such is the case, they will record the date by which you must depart in your passport. They may also provide you with a document called a visitor record, which will include the date by which you must depart.
If you do not get a passport stamp, you may remain in Canada for six months from the date of entry or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. If you need a stamp, you may get one from a border services officer. If you arrive at an airport that uses primary inspection kiosks, inquire the border officer after you complete formalities at the kiosk.
