An application for a temporary resident visa to visit Canada is for persons from designated countries who wish to visit Canada for a temporary purpose, such as tourism, visiting family or friends, or business trips.
To find out if you need a temporary resident visa, check the list of countries and territories whose citizens need a visa to enter Canada to visit, study or work temporarily.
Many visa offices have specific local instructions about which documents you must submit with your application. Please find out what they are, and make sure to include all the correct documents. Consult the list of Canadian visa offices abroad to find the office responsible for your country under “Applications for Temporary Resident Visas, Study Permits or Work Permits”. The page for your visa office includes a link to their website. Go to the website and find out what requirements and procedures to follow when applying.
Submit the application to a visa office at a Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate abroad.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada started a pilot project with a new application guide and forms for the following visa offices: Buffalo, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Washington D.C. Applicants to these visa offices should use the new guide and forms. Applicants to all other visa offices should refer to the website for that visa office for forms and instructions.
Please verify and ensure that you have the necessary visa requirements for the transit countries, if you are traveling through Europe or the United States.
