Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)

What is TRV & Why do you need it:

A temporary resident visa (TRV), also known as Visitor Visa, is an official counterfoil document issued by a visa office to show that they have met the requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary resident. You need a temporary resident visa if you plan to visit Canada for more than 48 hours. Visa-required foreign nationals must apply for a temporary resident visa (TRV) to travel to Canada as a Visitor, Worker, or Student.

If you meet certain requirements and are admissible, an immigration officer may issue a TRV in the form of an official counterfoil document placed in your passport. Temporary residents may apply to change or extend their status in Canada, under certain conditions.

 

Who can apply:

You need to meet some basic requirements to get a visitor visa:

– have a valid travel document. Eg. passport

– be in good health

– have no criminal or immigration-related convictions

– Convince the Immigration Officer that you have strong ties with your home country and thus will leave Canada at the end of your visit

Some foreigners from certain countries do not need a visitor visa to visit Canada. Due to bilateral agreements made between Canada and other countries, citizens from a visa-exempt country only need to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada. The following are some examples of visa-exempt countries: Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, etc. To find out the complete list of visa-exempt countries, visit the Immigration and Citizenship Canada website for more information: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/entry-requirements-country.html
