Visitor Visa

A visitor visa is a requirement for many people who plan to visit Canada. Obtaining a visitor visa can be a complex and challenging process, depending on your citizenship and personal circumstances. If you do not have a visitor visa and try to enter Canada, your plans to visit Canada could be disrupted by being stopped at the border or at the airport from boarding your flight.

If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Canada, you must apply for a visitor visa before you travel to Canada. Countries on this list can change over time, so we recommend checking the Canadian government's official website to determine the status of your country.

There are several reasons why someone might want to obtain a visitor visa to enter Canada. Some people come to visit family and friends, attend conferences or professional events, or explore the country on tours and organized trips. Whatever the reason, obtaining a visitor visa is often critical to having a successful visit to Canada.

When applying for a visitor visa, there are several factors that are taken into consideration by the Canadian embassy in the country of residence/citizenship of the applicant. These factors can include employment status in the country of residence, financial status, and travel history. The immigration officer must feel confident that the applicant will return to their country of residence at the end of their visit to Canada and will not overstay their visa. To be approved for a visitor visa, the applicant must demonstrate a genuine intent to visit Canada for a specific purpose, and provide accurate and complete documentation to support their application. This can include a letter of invitation from a Canadian citizen or a Canadian company, proof of financial support for the duration of the visit, and a detailed itinerary of the planned visit.

At Havitov immigration consulting agency we can assist with submitting a complete and
accurate application, as well as helping individuals understand the requirements and processes involved in obtaining a visitor visa. Furthermore, we can assist in the appeal process using the CAIPS system if your application is denied by a Canadian embassy or consulate. If you are denied a visitor visa, there are still other legal ways to stay in Canada. For example, you can enroll in a language course, attend a Canadian college or university, apply for a refugee status, or find a Canadian employer who is willing to sponsor you. Our consulting agency can guide you through these options if you are interested in staying in Canada longer-term.
