Canada attracts Indian travellers with its natural beauty, multicultural cities and large Indian community. To visit as a tourist, you need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also called a Canada visitor visa.
How to apply
- Create an account on the official IRCC portal and fill the online application.
- Upload your documents and pay the visa and biometrics fees.
- Give biometrics at a visa application centre after receiving the instruction letter.
- Submit your passport when requested and wait for the decision.
Documents checklist
- Valid passport and previous passports
- Recent photograph as per specifications
- Bank statements, ITR and salary slips
- Employment letter or business proof
- Travel plan, and an invitation letter if visiting family
- Proof of ties to India such as property, family or job
Expert tip: Write a clear letter of explanation describing your travel purpose, who is paying and your plans to return. It helps the officer understand your application quickly.
Validity and processing
A visitor visa can be issued for up to 10 years or until one month before your passport expires. Each stay is usually up to 6 months. Processing times change often, so always check the current timeline on the IRCC website before you plan your trip.
