Visitor Visa

A Visitor Visa, officially known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows individuals from visa-required countries to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, family visits, business meetings, or short-term purposes. This visa is typically valid for up to 6 months per visit and can be issued as single-entry or multiple-entry, depending on your travel needs. While a visitor visa does not permit working or long-term stays, it is essential for those who wish to explore Canada, attend family functions, or attend short business-related events. At Chanpreet Immigration Services Ltd, we assist clients in preparing and submitting strong visitor visa applications, ensuring all documentation is complete and aligned with IRCC requirements. Whether you’re visiting loved ones or simply discovering Canada’s beauty, our team ensures your application process is smooth, transparent, and stress-free.

Understanding the Visitor Visa

A Visitor Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), is an official travel document that allows foreign nationals from visa-required countries to enter Canada for a temporary stay. This visa is typically issued for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, attending business events, or participating in short-term studies or training (less than six months). A visitor visa does not authorize work or long-term residence in Canada. Depending on the purpose of your visit, IRCC may grant a single-entry or multiple-entry visa, with validity ranging up to 10 years or until your passport expires. It’s important to demonstrate that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit, have sufficient funds for your stay, and pose no risk to Canadian security or public health. At Chanpreet Immigration Services Ltd, we guide you through every step of the application process, ensuring your case is strong, complete, and meets all legal requirements for approval.

The Visitor Visa is Categorized into Two Main Types:

Canada offers two primary types of Visitor Visas, each serving a different purpose based on the nature and frequency of travel. Understanding these categories can help applicants choose the right visa for their needs.

1️⃣ Single-Entry Visa

A Single-Entry Visa allows the holder to enter Canada only once. After you leave Canada, you will need a new visa to re-enter (except when traveling to the U.S. or St. Pierre and Miquelon and returning within the authorized stay period).

Best suited for:

  • One-time visits (e.g., family events, tourism)

  • Applicants with clearly defined short-term travel plans

2️⃣ Multiple-Entry Visa

A Multiple-Entry Visa allows you to enter and exit Canada multiple times during the visa’s validity, which can be up to 10 years or until your passport expires. Each stay is usually limited to 6 months per entry.

Best suited for:

  • Frequent travelers to Canada

  • Business visitors or family members making regular trips

  • Tourists with long-term travel flexibility

Visitor Visa for Holidays and Recreation

Canada is known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage—making it a top destination for travelers worldwide. A Visitor Visa for holidays and recreation allows individuals to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, sightseeing, and leisure activities. Whether you’re exploring the Rocky Mountains, experiencing the charm of French-speaking Quebec, or visiting Niagara Falls, this visa grants you the opportunity to enjoy Canada’s natural beauty and diverse attractions. Applicants must demonstrate that they are visiting for genuine recreational purposes, have sufficient funds for their stay, and intend to return to their home country after the trip. At Chanpreet Immigration Services Ltd, we help you prepare a compelling application with all necessary documentation to ensure a smooth visa approval process and a memorable Canadian vacation.

A Holiday in Canada Could Involve Activities Like:
  • Skiing or snowboarding in Whistler, Banff, or Mont-Tremblant
  • Exploring national parks like Jasper, Banff, and Gros Morne
  • Sightseeing in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal
  • Shopping and dining in vibrant downtown districts
  • Attending cultural festivals, concerts, and local events
  • Hiking and wildlife tours in the Canadian Rockies
  • Visiting iconic landmarks such as Niagara Falls, CN Tower, and Parliament Hill
  • Taking scenic road trips along the Cabot Trail or Icefields Parkway

Visitor Visa for Seeing Family or Friends

A Visitor Visa for seeing family or friends allows individuals to temporarily visit loved ones residing in Canada, whether they are citizens, permanent residents, or international students/workers. This type of visa is perfect for attending family events such as weddings, birthdays, religious ceremonies, or simply spending quality time with close relatives and friends. Applicants must provide an invitation letter from the host in Canada, along with evidence of strong ties to their home country, proof of funds, and a clear intent to return after the visit. At Chanpreet Immigration Services Ltd, we guide you through every step of the process—from preparing documents to submitting a compelling application—so you can focus on reuniting with your loved ones in Canada.

Business Visitor Visa

A Business Visitor Visa is designed for foreign nationals who wish to travel to Canada temporarily for business-related activities without directly entering the Canadian labor market. This includes attending business meetings, conferences, trade shows, negotiating contracts, or exploring business opportunities. Business visitors typically stay in Canada for a short duration (up to 6 months) and must demonstrate that their primary source of income and business remains outside of Canada. Applicants must provide supporting documents such as an invitation letter from a Canadian business, details of their business background, and proof of financial support. They must also show a clear intent to leave Canada at the end of their visit. At Chanpreet Immigration Services Ltd, we help business professionals compile a complete and convincing application, ensuring all requirements are met for a successful and timely visa approval.
