About Canada Visit Visa
A Canada Temporary Visit Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), is required for non-EU nationals who want to visit Canada for purposes such as tourism, family visits, business meetings, or short-term studies for less than six months.
Applying for a Canada Temporary Visit Visa involves a detailed process with specific requirements. Ensuring all documents are accurate and complete and understanding the expectations of Canadian immigration authorities can enhance your chances of a successful application.
