Canada
Canada issues a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for individuals who wish to visit the country for tourism, business, or family visits. The TRV allows individuals to stay in Canada for a limited period.
The types of Temporary Resident Visas include:
- Single Entry Visa: This allows a person to enter Canada only once. Once the individual leaves Canada, excluding travel to the United States and St. Pierre and Miquelon, they will need a new visa to enter Canada.
- Multiple Entry Visa: This allows individuals to enter and exit Canada multiple times within the visa’s validity period without having to reapply each time. Multiple entry visas are usually valid for up to 10 years, or one month before the passport’s expiry date, whichever is shorter.
To apply for a Temporary Resident Visa for tourism purposes, individuals typically need to submit an application, pay the required fees, and provide documents demonstrating the purpose of their visit, ties to their home country, financial means, and other supporting information. Additionally, visitors may need to undergo a medical examination and provide biometric information.
It is essential to note that immigration policies and procedures can change, so it is advisable to check the official website of the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or consult with the Canadian embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, the terminology or specific visa types may evolve over time.
