Temporary Resident Visas (TRV) and Visitor Records

Allows the individual to remain in Canada for up to 6 months.
Multiple-Entry

Holding a Canadian Visitor Visa will give you the opportunity of entering Canada for a period of up to 6 months. The length of the visa will be determined by the length of your passport and/or reason of visit. Upon arriving at the port of entry, an Immigration Officer will determine the length of your stay. Visitors who wish to stay longer must apply for an extension and pay a new fee.
To be accepted when arriving at the Port of Entry, the visitor must prove to the officer their intention of leaving Canada by the end of their visit.
Requirements:
- Valid Passport
- Medical Examination
- Enough funds to support stay in Canada
- Proof you will leave Canada at the end of your stay
Super-Visa
Parents and Grandparents are often eligible for a special exception to the 6-month maximum for Visitor Visas.
With a Super Visa, eligible parents/grandparents can be approved for multiple entries into Canada, valid for up to 10 years! Typically, they can remain with their Canadian family for periods of up to 2 years at a time.
The key difference is that the Super Visa allows an individual to stay for up to two years at a time in Canada, while a 10-year multiple entry visa would only have a status period for each entry of six months only.
Requirements:
- Valid Passport
- Invitation Letter given by the child or grandchild
- Medical Examination
- Medical insurance coverage for one year from a Canadian insurance company
- Child or Grandchild must prove their household meets the minimum necessary income
