Visitor Visa

Canada welcomes millions of temporary residents (non-immigrants) each year. People enter Canada as tourists, to travel and see this great country, to visit friends and relatives or to decide if they wish to immigrate permanently. Over the past several decades, increasing numbers of travelers from a growing variety of countries have been making Canada their destination for business or pleasure.

A visitor visa is also known as a temporary resident visa, which allows an applicant to enter Canada from the airport or border. It allows the visitor to travel from any Canadian port. However, the Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) agent has the right to refuse entry to impermissible people. It is also referred to as an entry visa. To get the visitor visa, you have to inform the immigration officer that you will return after your first visit. It is one of the main concerns.

Types Of Visitor Visas

• A single-entry visa: It allows you to enter Canada only once till the time of its validity. If you leave Canada, you must obtain a new Temporary Resident Visa to re-enter Canada.
• A multiple-entry visa: It allows you to re-enter Canada as long as you want till the time of its validity. But, you must arrive in Canada before the expiry date of your Temporary Resident Visa.
