Visitor Visa
Home to 20 different cultural and natural UNESCO World Heritage sites, Canada is a great country to plan for your next adventure. From coast to coast the country is filled with beautiful natural scenery from the Niagara Falls all the way to the Rocky Mountains and the Northern Lights. Canada also offers the exciting urban adventures of great cities such as Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver!
Canada welcomes millions of temporary residents (non-immigrants) each year. All visitors (except Canadian citizens, permanent residents and US citizens) do require permission to enter the country either in a form of a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Our firm can assist you in demonstrating the required factors to maximize your chances of an approval in the minimum period of time whether you are visiting as a tourist, international student, temporary foreign worker or a business visitor.
TRV vs. eTA
TRV or commonly known as a visitor's visa is a standard travel document that’s inserted into your passport to give you permission to enter Canada.
If you are NOT a citizen from a visa-exempt country, you WILL need a TRV to enter Canada.
e-TA is an electronic document that ONLY citizens of visa-exempt countries intending to travel to Canada by air are expected to obtain.
Exception: USA citizens do NOT need an eTA but Green Card holders DO.

Regardless of where your friend or family is on the above list, they must apply for a travel authorization before they arrive in Canada.
If you are helping a loved one's visit, you most likely will encounter a request from Immigration Refugee Citizenship Canada to submit an invitation letter in support of their application.
