Temporary Resident Visa to Visit Canada

This application is for persons from designated countries who wish to obtain a visa to visit Canada for a temporary purpose, such as tourism, visiting family or friends, or business trips.

To find out if you need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), check the Designate Country/Territory List from whose citizens need a visa to enter Canada to visit, study or work temporarily.

If you wish to study or work temporarily in Canada you will also require an additional study permit or work permit.

Completed applications for TRV's can be submitted through the Canadian Consulate or High Commission in your home country.

Prior to submitting your application, you should contact the Canadian visa office in your home country to see if you need to fill out any additional forms or provide any additional documents.
