Visit Canada
Find out what document you need to travel, visit family and friends, do business, or
transit through Canada, and how to extend your stay.

What is a temporary resident visa / visitor visa?

A temporary resident / visitor visa is an official document stamped in your passport. It
shows that you meet the requirements needed to travel to Canada.
Most travelers require a visitor visa to travel to Canada. You may also need a visa if you
are transiting through a Canadian airport on your way to your final destination.

Basic travel requirements

You must meet some basic requirements to travel to Canada. You must:

have a valid travel document, like a passport.

be in good health
have no criminal or immigration-related convictions
convince an immigration officer that you have ties—such as a job, home,
financial assets or family—that will take you back to your home country
convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your
visit
have enough money for your stay.
The amount of money you will need depends on how long you will stay and if
you will stay in a hotel, or with friends or relatives.

You may also need a medical exam and letter of invitation from someone who lives in
Canada.
Some people are not admissible to Canada, which means they are not allowed to enter
the country. You can be inadmissible for several reasons, including being involved in:

criminal activity
human rights violations
organized crime

You can also be inadmissible for security, health or financial reasons.

Extend your stay in Canada as a visitor

If you want to extend your stay in Canada, you must apply to do so. Check your
temporary resident status to make sure you apply before the expiry date. This will be
on your study or work permit, the stamp in your passport or, if you do not have a
stamp in your passport, 6 months from the day you entered Canada. You should
apply 30 days before your status expires to:

extend your visitor, student or work status,

change your permit type (for example, from a study permit to a work permit) or
change your permit condition(s) (for example, if you are studying and you want to
change schools, or if you are working and you want to change jobs).

Apply online for a visitor visa

To apply online you must have:
access to a scanner or camera to create electronic copies of your documents for
uploading and
a valid credit card for payment.
If you provide an email address on your application, check your email account often
for emails from us. Make sure that our emails aren’t blocked by your spam filters

Apply on paper for a visitor visa

If you have a valid study or work permit and are planning to leave and return to
Canada, you can apply for a new visitor visa before you leave Canada.

1. Get the application package

The application package includes an instruction guide and all the forms you need to
fill out.
Read the guide carefully before you complete the application. We will not refund
your application fee, so make sure you are eligible for a temporary resident (visitor)
visa before you apply.
Each individual applicant must submit a completed application form. Applicants
under the age of 18 must have this form signed by a parent or a guardian.

2. Pay your application fees

In most countries, application fees must be paid in Canadian dollars. Find out more
about fees and which payment methods you can use.
If you apply on paper at a VAC, you will also have to pay the VAC services fees. These
fees are not already included in your application fees.

3. Submit your application

Families should send their individual applications in one package. The principal
applicant must send this combined package to the location where their application
will be processed.
Select the country/territory you will be applying from to find out where to submit your
application. You can choose your country of nationality or the country/territory where
you have been legally admitted:

You can submit your application to the recommended visa application

centre (VAC) and:
receive service in the local language;
take advantage of their extended hours of service;
track your application online; and
have the assurance that your application is complete and is sent to the correct
visa office.
If you need to submit your application in person, you can go to the closest VAC.

What happens after you apply for a visitor visa

How we process your application

After you send us your application, we will review it to make sure it’s complete and
has all the documents needed.
If it’s incomplete, we won’t process it and will return it to you.
If your application is complete, we may ask you to:

get a medical exam

get a police certificate
go for an interview

We will tell you what to do if you need to complete any of these steps.
We process most visitor visa applications in a few weeks or less. Processing
times depend on the visa office and if you need to complete any additional steps.
We will return your passport and other original documents to you after we process
your application. We will not return original bank statements or any documents we
find to be fake.
If your application is approved, the visa will be stamped inside your passport.
If your application is refused, we will send you an explanation. For more information
on visa refusals, see our Help Centre.
Change your contact information
You must contact the Canadian visa office that serves the country or region where you
live if you change your:

address
telephone number
any other contact information

Entering Canada
A valid visitor visa and travel document does not guarantee that you can enter Canada.
A border services officer may find that you are no longer admissible because:

your case has changed

there is new information about you, such as you gave false or incomplete
information on your visa application

Prepare for your arrival as a visitor to Canada

When you arrive in Canada, a border services officer will greet you. The officer works
for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The CBSA protects Canada's borders
and points of entry.
The officer will ask to see your passport or travel documents. If you applied for
a parent and grandparent super visa, you will have other documents to give to them as
well. These could include proof of medical insurance and a letter of introduction from
us, depending on what country you are travelling from. Make sure that you have these
documents with you and that they are not packed in your luggage. This will speed up
your entry into Canada.
Even if you don’t need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a visa to enter
Canada, the officer will ask you a few questions. They will make sure that you meet the
requirements to enter Canada.
You won’t be allowed into Canada if you give false or incomplete information. You
must convince the officer that you:

are eligible for entry into Canada

will leave Canada at the end of your approved stay

Children under 18 (minor children) must travel with appropriate documents and
meet the same entry requirements as adults. The border services officer may ask
children to present other documents depending on if they are travelling alone or with
someone. Find out about the specific requirements for minor children.
Minor children travelling to Canada
Make sure you know what to do if your minor children (children under the age of 18)
will be travelling with you, with someone else, or alone. Children under the age of 18 are
considered minors in Canada.

Minors who try to enter Canada without the proper documents, or who are with
adults other than their parents or legal guardian(s), will be checked more closely.
Border services officers are on alert for children who need protection and check very
carefully for missing or runaway children. They may question you about children who
come with you to Canada or question a child who travels alone. Make sure you have
the proper documents with you.

The child should present:

his own passport
a parent’s passport, even if the child’s details are included in it, cannot be used
a copy of his birth certificate, and
a letter of authorization, in English or French if possible, and signed by both
parents or by their legal guardian which lists:
the parents’ (or legal guardian’s) address and telephone number, and
the name, address and telephone number of the adult who will look after the
child in Canada.

The officer will stamp your passport with a date, or let you know how long you can
stay in Canada. This is usually six months. The officer may limit or extend this period
of time to cover the planned purpose of your visit. Ask questions if you are not sure
about anything.
If you don’t obey the conditions of your eTA, visa, or any permit we or CBSA issue you,
we will ask you to leave Canada. Most people who are asked to leave Canada have the
right to a fair hearing to review the decision.
