Tourist Visa
A tourist visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows individuals to visit Canada for a temporary period for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, or attending business meetings or conferences. It is a non-immigrant visa that does not grant the right to work or study in Canada.
Types of Tourist Visas
- Single Entry Visa: This allows entry to Canada for one visit only and is valid for up to six months from the date of issuance.
- Multiple Entry Visa: This allows entry to Canada multiple times within a specified period (usually up to 10 years) or until the visa expires, whichever comes first. Each stay can be up to six months.
- ETA: Electronic Travel Authorization or ETA allows entry to Canada from a visa-exempt country.
Processing Time
The processing time for a Canadian tourist visa application can vary depending on the country from which the application is submitted. Generally, processing times range from a few weeks to a few months. It’s important to submit a complete and accurate application to avoid delays.
