Visitor Visa

Canada has a lot to offer for tourism and leisure. If you are coming from abroad and planning to visit Canada for tourism, to reconnect with a family member or friend, you might need either a Visitor Visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).


Visitor visa and eTA are referred to as Temporary Resident Visas (TRV). A visitor visa consists of a counterfoil document attached to the passport and is used for tourists to enter Canada on a temporary basis.


eTA is issued to foreign nationals from Visa-exempt countries. it is electronically linked to a foreign national’s passport.


Types of TRV :

  • Single-entry Visa (SEV): validity is up to 6 months.
  • Multiple-entry Visa (MEV): validity is max10 years
  • Transit Visa

Super Visa for Parents/Grandparents

Super Visa is a multiple-entry visa that allows parents/grandparents to visit Canada as many times as they want within 10 years of their visa validity. With the recent immigration policy effective since July 2022, parents/grandparents under Super Visa are allowed to stay as long as 5 years on each trip, compared to previously 2 years.


Super Visa program is meant to offer an alternative relief for parents or grandparents who are unable to win the lottery to become permanent residents based on family sponsorship. However, unlike the permanent residents who are allowed to work, study, and get social benefits such as health care coverage, the super visa holders are only allowed to stay with their relatives and visit the country.
