Temporary residence

Visit Canada

A temporary visit can involve more than showing where you plan to stay. The officer may consider the purpose of travel, finances, family circumstances, immigration history, ties outside Canada and whether the applicant is likely to leave at the end of the authorized stay.

01

Visitor visa

A Temporary Resident Visa is used by people from visa-required countries to travel to Canada temporarily. The application should make sense as a whole, including purpose, funding, family circumstances, immigration history and supporting evidence.

02

Super Visa for parents and grandparents

The Super Visa is for eligible parents and grandparents seeking longer visits with qualifying family in Canada. Additional host, financial and insurance requirements must be checked under the current rules.

03

Extend your stay as a visitor

A visitor in Canada may be able to extend the authorized stay. A visitor record is not a travel visa. If status has expired, restoration may need to be considered instead of a routine extension.

04

What may need to be examined?

  • Purpose and expected length of the visit
  • Funding and financial evidence
  • Family connections in and outside Canada
  • Previous declarations and refusals
  • Current status and expiry dates
  • Pending applications
  • Possible admissibility concerns

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a visitor record the same as a visitor visa?

No. A visitor record relates to how long a person may remain in Canada. It is not a visa for travelling to or re-entering Canada.

Should I submit as many documents as possible?

Not necessarily. Documents should be relevant, credible and connected to the facts that must be established.
