Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa)
Dreaming of visiting Canada? Whether it’s for sightseeing, spending time with family, or conducting business, a Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) is your ticket to this beautiful country. If you’re not from a visa-exempt country, you’ll need this visa to board a plane to Canada. Once approved, your visa will allow either a single or multiple entries, depending on your situation.
When you land, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will determine your stay—up to a maximum of 180 days. Need more time? You can extend your stay, but don’t delay! Applying before your visa expires ensures you stay on “implied status” until a decision is made. Be mindful of overstaying, though—stay within the 90-day grace period to restore your visitor status.
Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents
For parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, the Super Visa offers an incredible opportunity to spend extended time in Canada. Unlike the regular visitor visa, the Super Visa allows you to stay up to 5 years on each entry—without needing to renew annually. Plus, you can re-enter Canada multiple times within a 10-year period.
To apply, you’ll need proof of medical insurance, evidence of financial support from your child or grandchild, and a letter of invitation. It’s the perfect solution for those looking to reconnect and enjoy long-term family visits in Canada.
