Canadian Visitor Visa
A Canada visa is a stamp on your passport which allows you to enter the country of Canada. It is a
permission for you to travel to the country and legally be able to stay either temporarily or permanently.
A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa) is an official document that we stick in your passport. It shows that you meet the requirements needed to enter Canada. Most travelers need a visitor visa to travel to Canada. You may also need one if you’re transiting through a Canadian airport on your way to your final destination.
How long you can stay
Most visitors can stay for up to 6 months in Canada.
At the port of entry, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months. If so, they’ll put the date you need to leave in your passport. They might also give you a document, called a visitor record, which will show the date you need to leave by.
If you don’t get a stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. If you need a stamp, you can ask a border services officer for one. If you arrive at an airport that uses primary inspection kiosks, ask the border officer after you finish at the kiosk.
People without Canadian citizenship or other visas to be in Canada require a visit visa to visit Canada (unless exempt). A visit visa to Canada allows a temporary stay, usually for up to six months (as a tourist) but for up to ten months for a parent or grandparent of a Canadian.
Eligibility
You must meet some basic requirements to get a visitor visa. 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. Visas are available under three different categories:
Single entry – allows a stay for up to six months, entering once only. Can be extended if needed, by application at least 30 days before expiry
multiple entries – allows the holder to enter and depart Canada on multiple occasions and is valid for up to 6 months, depending on the issuing case officer’s decision
Transit – for stopping in Canada for up to 48 hours.
Some people are not allowed to enter 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
Business Visa (Temporary Residence)
A business visitor is someone who comes to Canada for international business activities without directly entering the Canadian labor market.
Examples of this include someone who comes to Canada to meet people from companies doing business with their country, to observe site visits, because a Canadian company invited them for training in product use, sales other business transaction functions. They don’t need a work permit to come to Canada.
Business visitors must prove that their main source of income and their main place of business is outside Canada.
You aren’t considered a business visitor and may need to get a work permit if you’re doing work for a Canadian company. For example, you’re an employee sent by a foreign company to fulfill a contract with a Canadian company.
Business visitors and business people are not the same. Business people come to do work in Canada under a free trade agreement. Learn more about business people.
Business visitors usually stay in Canada for a few days or a few weeks, but are able to stay for up to 6 months.
To qualify as a business visitor to Canada, you must meet the following requirements and provide documents
You plan to stay for less than 6 months
You don’t plan to enter the Canadian labor market
Your main place of business and source of income and profits is outside Canada

You meet Canada’s basic entry requirements because you
have a valid travel document, such as a passport
have enough money for your stay and to return home

Note: If you plan to stay for more than 6 months, or plan to work in Canada, you may be considered a temporary worker and have to apply for a work permit.
