TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA CANADA

Every year millions of people visit Canada, many of which require a Temporary Resident Visa (“TRV”). This is also commonly referred to as a visitor or tourist visa.

If you are from a country that requires a temporary resident visa to enter Canada as a visitor, you must apply for that TRV at the Canadian visa office responsible for your country or region before coming to Canada. A visa officer will review your TRV application and decide whether to issue a visa.

Canada Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)

Two Types of Canadian Temporary Resident Visas

There are two types of TRV’s: a single entry visa and a multiple entry visa. Both are valid for a fixed period and cannot be used after they expire.

A single entry visa allows you to come to Canada only one time. Once you have left Canada, excluding travel to the United States and St. Pierre and Miquelon, you will need a new visa to travel back to and enter Canada.

A multiple entry visa allows visitors to come and go from Canada for six months at a time, without having to reapply each time. It can be valid for up to 10 years, or one month before your passport expires, whichever is earlier. You must arrive in Canada on or before the expiry date on your visa.

Extend Your Visit

Generally, visitors to Canada can stay for a maximum of six months from the date of their entry.

If you want to extend your stay in Canada as a visitor, you must apply to do so before your status expires.  To be safe, you should apply 30 days before your status expires.

Work or Study while Visiting

Most visitors to Canada cannot work or study in Canada without a Work or Study Permit.  However, if you are visiting Canada and you want to work or study there are ways to obtain a Work or Study Permit while you are still in Canada. This is contingent on you still having legal visitor status in Canada.
