A visitor visa also called a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), is a travel document that allows international residents to come to Canada. Unless you are from a visa-exempt country, you will need to apply for a visitor visa before traveling to Canada, regardless of whether you are a visitor, a student, or coming to work temporarily in Canada.
There are two types of Canadian visitor visas: multi-entry and single entry. You don’t need to worry about which one you are applying for; all applications are automatically presumed to be multi-entry, and a single entry will only be issued in special cases.
Anyone who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or from a visa-exempt country must apply for a visitor visa or electronic travel authorization before traveling.
A visitor visa application can be made online or in person at a local Visa Application Centre (VAC). Each family member traveling with you, including minor dependent children, must have a valid visitor visa.
To apply, you will need:

How Long is a Visitor Visa Valid?
Most visitor visas are valid for up to 6 months; however, there are cases where a visitor visa may be issued for up to 10 years. Additionally, if you are in Canada on a visitor visa that is set to expire and wish to stay in Canada longer, you can apply for an extension.
Can I stay in Canada with an Expired Visitor Visa?
If your visitor visa is about to expire, but you would like to stay in Canada for a little longer, you can apply for an extension, and we can help. If your visitor visa has already expired, but it’s been less than 90 days, we can help you apply for a restoration of status.
You can legally stay in Canada while waiting for the results of your application for an extension or restoration.
Can I work in Canada with A Visitor Visa?
In most cases, foreign nationals wishing to work while visiting Canada need to apply for a Work Permit. However, there are exceptions. For case-specific inquiries, our immigration consultants would be happy to assist.

I was having issues with applying for permanent residency and had consulted and even hired another immigration lawyer but I wasn’t satisfied with their service and lack of care. But Ranjeet was helpful as soon as I met her. She was very attentive and explained to me everything really well and was a big help in getting me my PR. Thank you so much, Ranjeet!
