To enter Canada temporarily
To enter Canada temporarily, you will need a visitor visa that is also known as a Temporary Resident Visa unless you’re from a visa-exempt country. Whether you wish to visit Canada for studies, to reunite with family, as a tourist, or as a temporary worker, you will need a visitor visa. With years of experience, Smart Voyage Migration Services makes the Canada Visitor Visa application process simpler and swifter for you, increasing your chances of obtaining the visa.

Types of Canadian Visitor Visas.
The visa validity is determined by a visa officer. Single-entry visas are normally valid for six months, and multiple-entry visas may be valid for longer periods. The validity date is the day by which you must enter, not leave, Canada. The officer at the Port of Entry will determine the length of stay allowed.
We cannot issue visitor visas with a validity that exceeds the passport validity. So if your passport will expire soon, you may want to renew it before you apply for your Canadian visa.
Please note that the decision on the validity of the visa is made by the Visa Officer. On occasion, the Visa Officer may issue a single entry visa when a multiple entry visa has been requested. As in the case of refused applications, there are no refunds in this type of case, as the fees charged are for the processing of the application and are not based on the outcome of the application.
A Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to remain in Canada for up to 24 months at a time without the need for renewal of their status. To obtain a Super Visa, the applicant must be admissible to Canada and meet certain additional requirements.
Basic requirements for a visitor visa
The applicant must have a valid passport with ample validity period. To improve your chances of acceptance for Canada Visitor Visa, your visa officer must be convinced that you will not overstay your visa validity and will leave the country in time. You must also commit to and abide by all conditions of admission to the country.
In reaching a decision, an officer considers several factors, which may include:
- The applicant’s travel and identity documents
- The reason for travel to Canada and the applicant’s contacts there
- The applicant’s financial means for the trip
- The applicant’s ties to his or her country of residence, including immigration status, employment and family ties; whether the applicant would be likely to leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay.
