Explore Canada with Visitor Visa
A visitor visa, also known as a temporary resident visa, is an official document affixed to your passport, demonstrating your compliance with Canada's entry requirements. Most travelers require a visitor visa to enter Canada, including those in transit through a Canadian airport en route to their final destination. You can conveniently apply for a visitor visa online. Typically, visitors are allowed a stay of up to 6 months upon entry, although the border services officer at the port of entry may grant a different duration. This duration will be noted in your passport or provided in a document known as a visitor record. In the absence of a stamped date, you can remain in Canada for 6 months from your entry date or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
