Visitor Visa
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) also referred to as a “Visitor Visa”authorizes you to enter Canada as a temporary resident. If you are from a visa-exempt country, then you don’t need to apply for a TRV.
There are 2 different types of visitor visas:
A single entry visa allows you to travel to Canada once during the validity period.
A multiple-entry visa can be issued for a maximum period of 10 years or 1 month before the expiry date on your passport, whichever is earlier.
The multiple-entry visa allows you to re-enter Canada as many times as you want during the validity period.
The maximum period of stay allowed for a visitor is 6 months from the date of arrival.
