What Is a Visitor Visa (TRV)?
A Temporary Resident Visa is an official document placed in your passport that confirms you meet the requirements to enter Canada as a temporary visitor. The final decision on entry and length of stay is made by border officials upon arrival.
Visitor visas may be issued as:
Single-entry visas
Multiple-entry visas
Who Can Apply?

Visitor Visa vs eTA
Some travelers do not require a visitor visa and may instead be eligible for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Eligibility depends on nationality and travel document type.
It is important to apply under the correct entry requirement to avoid refusal or travel issues.
Length of Stay
Most visitors are allowed to stay in Canada for up to six months, unless otherwise specified by a border officer. The authorized stay period will be stamped in the passport or documented electronically.
Extensions may be possible but must be applied for before the current status expires.
