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.
Two Types of Canadian Temporary Resident Visas
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.
