How do I get a visitor visa for Canada?

A visitor visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows individuals from visa-required countries to enter Canada for tourism, business, or visiting family. Applying requires careful preparation and supporting documents.

Steps to apply for a Canadian visitor visa:

  • Check eligibility: Hold a valid passport and demonstrate strong ties to your home country (job, property, family).
  • Submit an online application: Create an IRCC account, complete form IMM 5257, and upload supporting documents.
  • Include a letter of invitation (if applicable): Recommended if visiting family or friends in Canada.
  • Pay application fees: The visa costs CAD $100, plus CAD $85 for biometrics if required.
  • Provide biometrics: Most applicants must give fingerprints and a photo.
  • Wait for processing: Processing times vary. If approved, your passport will be requested for visa stamping.
