Visitor Visas & eTA

Foreign nationals who wish to visit Canada temporarily may need either a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also known as a visitor visa, or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), depending on their country of citizenship. Citizens of visa-required countries must obtain a TRV before traveling to Canada. Citizens of visa-exempt countries (other than the United States) traveling by air need an eTA linked to their passport.

A visitor visa or eTA allows you to stay in Canada for up to six months at a time. To be approved, you must demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country, sufficient funds for your stay, and a genuine intention to leave Canada at the end of your authorized visit. A history of immigration refusals, criminal records, or previous immigration violations can complicate an application and must be carefully addressed.

We help you build a compelling application package that addresses officer concerns and maximizes your chances of approval - whether you are visiting family in Chilliwack, attending a business event, or exploring Canada as a tourist.
