A business visitor visa for Canada is a temporary travel permit for individuals who intend to visit the country for business-related reasons. Typically, these visitors come to Canada for short durations, ranging from a few days to several weeks, to engage in activities such as meetings, conferences, or trade events. A business visitor is someone who comes to Canada for commercial activities but does not enter the Canadian labor market.

To be eligible as a business visitor to Canada, several specific criteria must be met to ensure that the visit is solely for business purposes without integrating into the Canadian labor market. The individual must:

• Plan to stay for less than six months;
• Not intend to enter the Canadian labor market;
• Provide supporting documents for the application;
• Hold a valid travel document such as a passport;
• Pose no criminal, security, or health risk to Canadians;
• Have sufficient funds for the stay and return;
• Intend to leave Canada at the end of the visit.

There are two types of Canadian visitor visas: single-entry visas and multiple-entry visas.

A single-entry visa allows foreign nationals to enter Canada only once. In contrast, a multiple-entry visa permits holders to enter and exit Canada as many times as needed while the visa remains valid. Applicants are generally considered for multiple-entry visas, and single-entry visas are issued only under exceptional circumstances.

Multiple-entry visitor visas allow the holder to stay in Canada for up to six months per visit, as frequently as necessary, provided the visa is valid. These visas can be valid for up to 10 years, though the exact duration of validity is determined by the immigration officer issuing the visa.

To enter Canada, individuals who are neither Canadian citizens nor permanent residents, and who are not exempt from visa requirements, must obtain a visitor visa. If you are transiting through Canada or visiting for business purposes, rather than as a temporary foreign worker, you may require a business visitor visa.

The only individuals who do not require a visitor visa to enter Canada, aside from Canadian citizens and permanent residents, are those from visa-exempt countries. Canada has agreements with several countries that allow their citizens to visit Canada for up to six months without a visa. Citizens from visa-exempt countries must obtain a valid Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if they are traveling by air to Canada. For entry by land or sea, a valid passport from a visa-exempt country is sufficient. U.S. citizens can travel to Canada with a valid U.S. passport without needing a visa or eTA, provided their stay does not exceed six months. For further information, please contact us.

Visitor visas are commonly refused due to incomplete documentation, financial instability, criminal records, health issues, unclear travel intentions, weak ties to the home country, previous travel problems, false declarations, overstaying, or illegal status. For a comprehensive understanding of these reasons and guidance on how to strengthen your visa application, please consult our experts.

The Super Visa is a multiple-entry visitor visa valid for up to 10 years, designed for the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. This visa allows for extended stays in Canada, with each visit lasting up to five years.

To qualify for a Canadian Super Visa, applicants must meet specific criteria. The Super Visa is designed for the parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, allowing them to visit Canada for up to 5 years per entry. The main requirements are:

• Proof of Relationship: Documentation such as birth or baptismal certificates to establish the relationship with the Canadian citizen or permanent resident child or grandchild.
• Medical Eligibility: Evidence of a medical examination.
• Medical Insurance: Applicants must have private medical insurance from a Canadian provider, covering healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation, with a minimum coverage of $100,000 and validity for at least one year from the date of entry.
• Invitation Letter: A letter from the child or grandchild residing in Canada.
• Proof of Financial Support: The child or grandchild must demonstrate that their household meets the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) threshold.

The Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents to stay temporarily in Canada. To remain permanently, they must be sponsored for permanent residence by their child or grandchild who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
