Visa Overview
 | There are two basic categories of Canadian visa – Immigration Visa and Temporary Visa. |
| To become a Canadian Immigrant Permanent Resident, a foreign individual must apply for and be issued a Canada Immigration Visa. |
| A Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa is a document which allows a person to live and work anywhere in Canada, and confers upon that person Permanent Resident status. A person who is a Canadian Permanent Resident may apply for Canadian Citizenship after 3 years. |
| The different Canadian immigration categories are - Federal Skilled Workers (Professionals), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP), Quebec Skilled Workers, Business Immigration and Family Class Sponsorship. |
| Individuals who wish to enter Canada for a temporary purpose, such as tourists, temporary foreign workers (Work permits) and international students (Study permits) must apply for and be granted a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), unless they are citizens of a visa-exempt country. |
| Temporary Resident Visas may be for single entry or multiple entry. |
| As a general rule, tourists are admitted for a period of six months. |
| Temporary foreign workers and international students are admitted for varying periods of time, as determined on a case-by-case basis. |
| However, possession of a valid Temporary Resident Visa does not necessarily mean that the Citizenship and Immigration Canada Officer at the Canadian Port of Entry will admit the visitor into Canada. |
| At the Port of Entry, all visitors must demonstrate that the purpose of their visit to Canada is of a temporary nature. Citizenship and Immigration Canada Officers at the Port of Entry will deny admission to all persons who, in their opinion, do not intend to leave Canada at the expiry of their visitor status. |
