Canada IVA aide les demandeurs à comprendre s'ils ont besoin d'un visa de visiteur ou d'une AVE, à préparer les bons documents et à avancer avec une stratégie d'entrée temporaire structurée.
Une visite temporaire au Canada peut sembler simple de l'extérieur, mais le bon document d'entrée dépend de votre passeport, de votre motif de voyage et de la manière dont vous comptez entrer au Canada.
Nous vous aidons à comprendre si votre cas est susceptible de nécessiter un visa de visiteur ou une AVE. Le Canada indique que les voyageurs ont besoin de l'un ou de l'autre, pas des deux.
Nous vous aidons à aborder le processus de visite avec les bons documents et un plan plus clair.
Si votre véritable objectif est de travailler, d'étudier ou d'immigrer à long terme, un parcours de visiteur n'est peut-être pas le bon point de départ.
L'objectif est de réduire la confusion avant que vous ne fassiez votre demande et avant que vous ne voyagiez.
Un visa de visiteur, également appelé visa de résident temporaire, est un document apposé dans votre passeport pour prouver que vous remplissez les conditions requises pour voyager au Canada. Le Canada indique que la plupart des voyageurs ont besoin d'un visa de visiteur. Les frais de départ affichés sont de 100 CAD.
An eTA is for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to Canada by air. Canada says an eTA costs CAD 7, is usually valid for up to 5 years or until the passport expires, and allows short stays that are normally up to 6 months at a time.
If you are visa-exempt and arrive by car, bus, train, or boat, Canada says you generally do not need an eTA or a visitor visa.
The right answer depends on the passport or travel document being used, not only on where the person lives.
This route is for temporary entry, not for long-term status.
For people visiting Canada for travel or short stays.
For people visiting relatives or loved ones in Canada.
For temporary business visits such as meetings, events, or short training, where the visitor is not entering the Canadian labour market. Canada says business visitors must plan to stay less than 6 months, keep their main place of business and source of income outside Canada, and not enter the Canadian labour market.
Some travelers also need a temporary entry document to transit through a Canadian airport on the way to another destination.
If your main goal is to work or study in Canada, you may need a different immigration route.
The exact list depends on the reason for travel and the document type, but the logic is usually the same: identity, purpose of travel, and proof that the visit is temporary and supported by the right documents.
Many visitor visa applications are based on family visits, but an invitation letter is not the same thing as a guarantee of approval.
Canada says you may be asked to include a letter of invitation from someone in Canada.
Canada states clearly that an invitation letter does not guarantee that a visitor visa will be issued. Visa officers still assess whether the applicant meets the legal requirements.
Canada says the person writing the letter should write it in good faith and include accurate information about the visitor and the visit.
If the visit is family-based, the application still needs to make sense as a temporary entry case.
Some short business activities can fall under the visitor route, but not every work-related trip qualifies as a business visit.
Canada says business visitors must plan to stay less than 6 months.
Canada says a business visitor must not plan to enter the Canadian labour market.
Canada says the main place of business and the main source of income and profits must stay outside Canada.
Canada lists business meetings, special events, and short training as examples.
If the trip looks more like work than business visiting, the visitor route may not be the correct one.
A visitor visa and a visitor record are not the same thing.
