Visitor

Visitors from visa-exempt nations are not required to get a visitor visa in order to enter Canada. Visitors who do not require a visa can stay in Canada for up to six months. If you are flying to Canada by plane from a visa-exempt nation, you must have an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) from the Canadian government. An eTA is not required for visa-exempt travellers entering Canada by sea or land. It’s worth noting that US nationals can travel into and out of Canada with just their valid passport and no eTA! Fortunately, applying for an eTA is simple and inexpensive. You can get an eTA by going to the Canadian government’s website, filling out the needed information, and paying the $7 CAD price. Most eTA applications are processed in a matter of minutes, but it can take several days in some circumstances, so apply well ahead of time. An eTA is valid for 5 years or until your passport expires if authorised.

Single-entry and multiple-entry visitor visas are available in Canada. Foreign nationals will be able to enter Canada only once with the single-entry visa. Multiple-entry visa holders are allowed to enter and exit as frequently as they wish within the validity period of their visa. A guest visa can be issued for a maximum of six months. The length of your visa, however, will be determined by the immigration officer in charge of your case. Only if your temporary status is still valid may you extend your guest visa from within Canada. Having an expired guest visa and no active extension application can affect future immigration applications. If you apply for an extension before your visa expires, you can remain in Canada under implied status until your application is approved. If you’re visiting Canada for business, you might need to apply for a business visitor visa. It should be noted that this visa is not intended for temporary foreign workers. To work directly in the Canadian labour market, you’ll need a separate work permit.

Some foreign nationals do not require a visiting visa to visit Canada, depending on their country of citizenship. Visa-exempt travellers are those who do not require a visa. Visitors without a visa are only allowed to stay in Canada for up to six months before having to renew their status. As a result, parents and grandparents of visa-exempt Canadian citizens and permanent residents may desire to apply for a super visa. This will enable them to stay in Canada for up to two years at a time, allowing them to spend more time with their loved ones.

When applying for a super visa, visa-exempt parents and grandparents must follow the same steps as described above. Instead of a visa, successful applicants will be given a letter to deliver to a border services officer when they enter Canada, allowing them to stay. Even if they have successfully filed for a super visa, visa-exempt travellers who wish to fly to Canada by air must apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA).

Holders with super visas can stay in Canada for up to two years. You must seek to extend your stay in Canada if you want to stay longer than two years. Your application for an extension should be submitted no later than 30 days before your existing status expires. If your existing visa expires while your application for an extension is being reviewed, you may stay in Canada until a decision is made. This is referred to as inferred status.
