Temporary Resident Visa

The Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly known as the Visitor Visa, is an official document issued by the Government of Canada that allows foreign nationals to enter Canada temporarily for:

• Tourism or vacation

• Visiting family or friends

• Attending short business trips, conferences, or meetings

• Accompanying a child or spouse in Canada (e.g., student or worker)

The TRV is a document placed in your passport, showing that you meet the requirements to enter Canada as a temporary resident.

🧾 Basic Requirements

To qualify for a TRV, you must:

✅ Prove that your visit is temporary and you will leave Canada at the end of your stay
✅ Show sufficient funds to support yourself during your visit
✅ Have no criminal record or security concerns
✅ Be in good health (a medical exam may be required in some cases)
✅ Provide documents that support the purpose of your visit (invitation letters, travel itinerary, etc.)

🔹 Supporting Documents Often Required

• Valid passport

• Invitation letter from a family member or friend in Canada (if applicable)

• Proof of ties to your home country (e.g., job, property, family, school, marriage certificate)

• Financial documents (bank statements, pay stubs)

• Travel itinerary or hotel booking

⏱️ Processing Time

Processing varies by country. It may take a few weeks to several months.

🛬 Can You Extend Your Stay?

Yes. You must apply for an extension at least 30 days before your status expires. If approved, you’ll receive a Visitor Record.

💡 Pro Tips

• A TRV does not guarantee entry into Canada. The border officer makes the final decision.

• If you're applying for a study or work permit, a TRV is often issued automatically (for visa-required countries).

• Always apply early if you're planning a trip with fixed dates.
