Planning to visit Canada for tourism, family visits, or business meetings? Oxford Immigration is here to simplify the process of obtaining your Canada Visitor Visa. Let us handle the paperwork while you focus on planning your adventure.
A Canada Visitor Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows you to enter Canada for various purposes such as tourism—exploring Canada's breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cities; family visits—spending quality time with relatives residing in Canada; or business activities like attending conferences, meetings, or negotiating business deals. There are two types of visitor visas: the Single-Entry Visa and the Multiple-Entry Visa. A Single-Entry Visa allows one entry into Canada and is valid for a stay of up to six months, making it ideal for one-time visits or short-term stays. The Multiple-Entry Visa is valid for up to ten years or one month before your passport expires, permitting multiple visits to Canada, each lasting up to six months. This option is perfect for frequent travelers.
