If you wish to come to Canada for a temporary purpose, such as a vacation or to visit family/friends, you may need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), unless you are a citizen from a “visa-exempt” country. The TRV (visitor visa) is a document issued by a Canadian Immigration Visa Office outside of Canada, showing that the holder has satisfied the requirements for admission to Canada as a visitor. TRVs may be for single entries or multiple entries. Typically, tourists are admitted for a period of six months, while temporary foreign workers (TFW) and international students are admitted for varying periods of time, as determined on a case-by-case basis.

Parents Visa

Canada also offers a Parents and Grandparents Program that allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents or grandparents to come and live in Canada for a period of time. The program provides an opportunity to reunite families and spend time with loved ones in Canada. However, sponsoring a parent or grandparent can be a complex process that requires meeting specific requirements. Our team can help guide you through the process and ensure you meet all the necessary criteria.

In conclusion, Canada welcomes millions of temporary residents (non-immigrants) each year. People enter Canada as tourists, to travel and see this great country, to visit friends and relatives, or to decide if they wish to immigrate permanently.
