Eligibility for a visitor visa in Canada
To begin, you must be eligible for a Canada visitor visa. The requirements are as follows:
- You must be in your home country or have a valid residence permit in your country of residence at the time of application; If not, the application will be rejected and you will have to reapply.
- Your passport must be valid for at least six months after the date you plan to leave Canada.
- You must have enough money to support yourself financially while you are in Canada – this usually means you have proof of income or can show you have a sponsor.
- You must not have a criminal record and/or be on any type of safety list (e.g. no fly list).
- You must have a letter from your doctor stating that you are physically fit and able to travel to Canada.
- You must be able to prove that you will be leaving Canada at the end of your stay.
If these requirements are pretty easy for you to meet, then read on! The next thing we will cover is the Canada Visitor Visa Application Information process.
Steps to apply for Canada Visa
The first step is to download and fill out the application form which can be found on the IRCC website.
Once you’ve filled it out, you’ll need to gather all the required evidence and send it in with your application. The most important are as follows:
Biometrics (fingerprints and photo).
- proof of identity. This can be in the form of a photocopy of your passport or driver’s license, but must not be more than six months old. If you do not have either document, you will need two government-issued IDs that contain your full name and date of birth (such as a social security card, student ID card, or Indian Status Certificate).
- Proof that you can support yourself financially during your stay in Canada.
- Your flight ticket to Canada – this cannot be an e-ticket unless booked through a travel agent.
- Once all of these documents have been submitted, your application will be processed. The average processing time is about two weeks, but it can take up to three months in the case of complications. To check the status of your application, see IRCC processing time for visitor visas.

If you are eligible for a Canada Visitor Visa, congratulations! However, keep in mind that the visa is only valid for six months. You must enter Canada within this time or you will be denied entry. In this case, you will need to apply for another visa and pay all fees again.
If your application is not approved, it doesn’t mean your plans are ruined forever! Instead, there are several ways you can still enter Canada.
What to do if the visa application is rejected?
One option is to apply for a temporary resident visa. This visa is for people who wish to stay in Canada for more than 90 days but do not meet the requirements for permanent residency. For more information on how to apply for this type of visa, visit this website.
Another option is to have a family member or friend sponsor you. This means they agree to be financially responsible for you during your stay in Canada and guarantee that you will depart at the end of your visit. For more information on this process, visit the Citizenship and Immigration website.
Finally, if all else fails, there is always the option to appeal the decision. This process is a bit more involved, so we recommend speaking to an immigration attorney before attempting this.
