Canadian Visitor Visa

A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa) is an official document that the Canadian government sticks in your passport. It shows that you meet the requirements needed to enter Canada on a visit to your family, friends, tourism or even for leisure purposes. Most travellers need a visitor visa to travel to Canada. You may also need one if you’re transiting through a Canadian airport on your way to your final destination. It is granted for a maximum period of two years and could be single or entry or multiple entry.

Eligibility for Visitor Visa

To be eligible for the visitor visa the following criteria must be met:

• The applicant must have a valid passport.
• The applicant has sufficient financial resources to cover his/her expenses during their stay in Canada.
• The applicant ensures that he/she will return to their home country before their visa expires.
• The applicant does not intend to seek employment in Canada.
• The applicant is free of a criminal record and poses no threat to Canada
• The applicant is aware of the laws of Canada and promises to abide by them.

Study In Canada Class

Every year, nearly 500,000 international students choose Canada as their study destination due to its top notch educational system. Canadian education is a dominant pathway to become a Permanent Resident of Canada. 

Do I need a Visa to enter Canada too?

Some countries like the U.S. are visa exempt and you will not require a separate Student Visa to enter Canada. You will only need a Study Permit which can be obtained at the nearest Visa Office or at the Port of Entry. If you come from a country which requires an entry visa (e.g. India and Ghana) you will have to secure both a Canada Student Visa and a Study Permit.

What happens at the end of your study period?

The end of you program does not mean you must leave Canada. We can support you with post-graduation work permit for up to three years. This helps outgoing students work towards earning valuable Canadian experience, paying off their education loans or even more important exploring the Canadian job market for permanent settlement. For those wishing to remain in Canada and immigrate permanently, they can apply for immigration under a program called the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
