Visitor Visas
Canada offers several types of visitor visas depending on the purpose of travel. A visitor visa allows foreign nationals to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, family visits, or business-related activities. Each category has different requirements, and applications must demonstrate that the applicant will leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay.
Types of Visitor Visas
Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
Allows travel to Canada temporarily for tourism, visiting family or friends, or attending events and ceremonies.
Business Visitor Visa
Allows individuals to enter Canada for business activities (meetings, trade shows, negotiating agreements) without entering the Canadian labour market.
Super Visa
Allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens/PRs to visit for up to 5 years at a time. Requires private medical insurance and minimum income thresholds.
What Happens if Refused?
Request Reconsideration
If there was a clear error in the assessment, it may be possible to request that the visa officer reconsider the decision promptly.
Reapply
Submit a new application addressing the specific concerns raised in the refusal letter with updated evidence and clear explanations.
Judicial Review
Challenge the refusal decision at the Federal Court of Canada if the officer’s decision was unreasonable and legally unjustified.
