Visitor Visas
A Visitor Visa is an official document stating that you meet the requirements required to enter Canada (also called a temporary resident visa, TRV). Some foreign nationals are required to have a Visitor Visa if they wish to travel or visit Canada. Depending on your citizenship, you may or may not need a temporary resident visa. You can apply for a visitor visa online or on paper.
