Requirements For Travel Visa In Canada

When travelling, people often need to apply for a travel visa. A travel visa is one of the many visas that permit a person to travel to another country for leisure or business purposes. If you want to visit Canada, on the other hand, then you will have to go through the process of applying for a travel visa before you can book your flight. The first step in attaining a Canadian visa is by applying through the consulate or embassy located in your place of residence. Here are the requirements and procedures you have to undergo:

For Canadian citizens and foreign nationals who are planning to visit Canada there is a set of rules, regulations, and requirements that you need to adhere by when applying for your travel visa.

The Canada travel visa is a letter or sometimes a stamp, affixed in your passport. The purpose of the Canada Entry Visa is to prove that you have permission from the Canadian Government to enter or remain in Canada for a period of time for a specific activity.

Requirements For Travel Visa In Canada

You can travel to Canada for up to six months with just your valid passport. To visit for longer, you need a Canadian visa. The easiest way to get a Canadian visa for longer than 6 months is if you apply before you arrive in Canada. For example, if you want to go to Canada and sit there for 3 years, and not come back, then you will need a visa.

Eligibility

You must meet some basic requirements to get a visitor visa. You must:

• have a valid travel document, like a passport
• be in good health
• have no criminal or immigration-related convictions
• convince an immigration officer that you have ties—such as a job, home, financial assets or family—that will take you back to your home country
• convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit
• have enough money for your stay
  • The amount of money you will need depends on how long you will stay and if you will stay in a hotel, or with friends or relatives.

You may also need a medical exam and letter of invitation from someone who lives in Canada.
