TOURIST OR TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also referred to as a visitor visa or Canada Tourist visa, is an official document issued by a Canadian visa office that is placed in your passport to show that you have met the requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary resident (either as a visitor, a student, or a worker).
Eligibility
You must meet some basic requirements to get a visitor visa. You must:
• Have a valid travel document, like a passport
• Be in good health
• Have no criminal or immigration-related convictions
• Convince an immigration officer that you have ties—such as a job, home, financial assets or family—that will take you back to your home country
• Convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit
• Have enough money for your stay
• The amount of money you will need depends on how long you will stay and if you will stay in a hotel, or with friends or relatives.
• You may also need a medical exam and a letter of invitation from someone who lives in Canada.
