What Is a Visitor Visa for Canada?
A Canada Visitor Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), is an official document placed in your passport that allows eligible travellers to seek entry to Canada for a temporary visit.
Visitors may travel to Canada for tourism, visiting family or friends, business activities, or other permitted temporary purposes. A visa does not guarantee entry. The border services officer makes the final decision when you arrive in Canada.
At Garcha Immigration, we help applicants understand visitor visa requirements, prepare supporting documents, and navigate the application process.
