CanadaVisitor & Super Visa
Visit family, attend a convocation or simply travel across Canada. A visitor visa application succeeds when it clearly shows the purpose of your trip, your finances and your ties to your home country. Parents and grandparents can also apply for the super visa for longer stays.
Overview
What you need to know
A visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) lets you travel to Canada for tourism, to visit family or for short business trips. Officers decide each application based on the purpose of your visit, your finances and whether you'll return home at the end of your stay.
Strong applications show a clear reason for the trip, enough funds and solid ties to your home country — a job, a business, property, family responsibilities or good travel history. Weak or generic applications are one of the most common reasons for refusals.
Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents can also apply for a super visa. It allows much longer stays than a regular visitor visa, but it requires an invitation and support letter from the child or grandchild, proof that they meet the income requirement, and eligible medical insurance.

- Missing invitation details or proof of the host's status in Canada
- Re-applying without addressing the reasons for a previous refusal
- Information in forms that doesn't match the supporting documents
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
My visitor visa was refused. Can I apply again?
Yes. We review your refusal reasons and help you address them before re-applying.
How long can I stay on a super visa?
A super visa allows longer stays per entry than a regular visitor visa. We explain the current limits when we assess your case.
Do I need an invitation letter?
It's not always mandatory for tourism, but it's strongly recommended when visiting family.
Do I need to give biometrics?
Most applicants aged 14 to 79 need to give fingerprints and a photo. Biometrics are generally valid for 10 years, so you may not need to give them again if you've applied recently.
Can I work on a visitor visa?
No. A visitor visa doesn't allow you to work in Canada. If you want to work, you need a work permit.
