A Canada Visitor Visa is a government-issued document that is attached to your passport and is issued by a Canadian Visa Office. It proves that you have fulfilled all of the requirements for temporary residency in the nation (as a tourist, student, or worker). It is called technically as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).

It comes as no surprise that everyone is ecstatic about Canada. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to discover the country’s limitless beauty. It has everything you might want, from vast areas of lush green countryside to breathtaking coastlines to friendly people and bustling towns. It provides the peaceful and pleasant atmosphere that everyone seeks.

Since Indians are not permitted to travel to Canada without a visa, you will need to apply for a Canada visit visa, which has a 6-month validity period. This visa enables visitors to travel freely and quietly across the country. You can apply for this visa for a variety of reasons, such as exploring Canada or being a dependent or family member of someone who resides in Canada.

There are two types of Canadian tourist visas: 

  • Single-entry visa (valid for six months).
  • Multiple-entry visa (issued for up to ten years or one month before the passport or re-entry visa expiry date, whichever comes first).

Canadian tourist visa requirements:

  • A valid passport
  • Documentation of good health
  • Financial documentation to sustain your stay in Canada
  • The intended duration of your stay 
  • No criminal or suspicious background
  • Evidence of familial links and ties to your home country
  • Information about your temporary residence

Reasons for visa rejection include:

1) False or misleading information

2) Documents that are incomplete or fraudulent

3)  Doubt on your intentions to return home once the visit is over

4) A criminal record or serious medical conditions
