This visa allows family members of those with temporary or permanent residency, as well as relatives of Canadian citizens, to visit Canada for short stays.
Visitors must prove their intent to return to their home country and demonstrate financial capability to cover all expenses during their stay in Canada. This type of visa, often referred to as a Visitor Visa, permits individuals to stay in Canada for a limited time to engage in activities such as vacations, family visits, or participation in special ceremonies.
To obtain this visa, applicants need to confirm their intention to return to their home country and present a solid financial plan to cover their travel and living expenses. Additionally, providing an invitation letter from someone residing in Canada can strengthen the application. This invitation should detail the duration of the stay and the relationship with the host.
Applicants for a Visitor Visa must also submit documents like a valid passport, financial evidence demonstrating their financial capability, and documents verifying their intent to return to their country of origin. In some cases, proof of health status or a clean criminal record may be required.
This visa does not permit visitors to work or study in Canada, except for very limited purposes pre-defined by specific conditions. Thus, individuals planning to stay longer or engage in business activities must apply for a different type of visa
