A Visitor Visa, also commonly known as a Temporary Resident Visa, gives you the permission to visit Canada as a tourist or to reconnect and meet up with family members.
A Visitor Visa is stamped onto your passport when entering Canada letting people know that you are now able to properly visit.
The Duration of Stay
The large majority of people who obtain a visitor visa will be able to stay within Canada for up to six months. When you arrive at the port-of-entry, the border services officer will decide if you can stay for less or more than six (6) months. Depending on your nationality and which country you plan to come from, you may need a Visitor Visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization.
Here are just a few of the main factors that will be considered when you go to apply for a Visitor Visa:
- You must have a valid travel document; foreign passport
