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.

Spouse Visa

If you are married or in a common-law relationship with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible for a Spouse Visa. The Spouse Visa allows you to live and work in Canada while your permanent residency application is being processed. However, the process of obtaining a Spouse Visa can be lengthy and complex. Our team can help ensure that your application is complete and meets all the necessary requirements.

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.
