Temporary Resident Visas (TRV), Business Visitors & Multi-Year Super Visas
Every year, millions of travelers, family members, business professionals, and tourists visit Canada. Depending on nationality, foreign nationals require either an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly known as a Canadian visitor visa, before boarding a flight to Canada. Additionally, parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents may qualify for the multi-entry Super Visa, allowing stays of up to 5 consecutive years per entry.
Temporary resident applications face substantial scrutiny under Section 179(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). Immigration officers must be convinced that the applicant has sufficient ties to their home country—such as employment, property, business operations, and family connections—and adequate financial resources to support their visit and depart Canada at the end of their authorized stay. Incomplete documentation or poorly drafted invitation letters frequently lead to refusals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Visitor Visas
Key questions regarding Temporary Resident Visas, Super Visas, and entry requirements.
A standard multiple-entry visitor visa generally allows an authorized stay of up to 6 months per entry over its validity period (up to 10 years). The Super Visa is specifically for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens/PRs and allows continuous stays of up to 5 years per entry with medical insurance coverage.
The most common reason for refusal under IRPR section 179(b) is that the officer is not satisfied the applicant will leave Canada at the end of their stay, often due to weak employment ties, insufficient funds, vague travel itineraries, or lack of established property in the home country.
Yes. You can apply for a Visitor Record from within Canada before your initial authorized stay (usually indicated by a stamp or 6 months from entry) expires, allowing you to maintain legal status while your extension is processed.
A visitor may attend job interviews and network; however, they cannot commence working without a valid work permit. Short courses of under 6 months may be undertaken on a visitor status, but programs longer than 6 months require a formal study permit.
