Canada-wide immigration advice

Visitor visas and stays in Canada

Understand the documents and immigration questions behind your proposed visit or longer stay.

Clear advice and practical next steps

Start with your circumstances.

A planned visit

Discuss the reason for travel, proposed dates, family connections and supporting records. Your circumstances determine which entry documents need assessment.

Staying longer

Tell us where you are now and when your status expires. A visitor visa and permission to remain in Canada are different questions.

A previous refusal

Bring the refusal and the application you submitted. We identify the concerns to address before considering another application.

Make the first conversation useful.

  • Passport and current immigration documents
  • Purpose and proposed dates of travel
  • Invitations and family details, where relevant
  • Financial and employment records available
  • Previous decisions and status expiry dates

Use the office’s secure sharing instructions for sensitive records. Do not send identity or financial documents through a general enquiry.

Before you start.

Is a visa the same as permission to stay indefinitely?

No. Entry documents and your authorised period of stay must be considered separately.

Can you advise about a parent or grandparent visit?

Yes. Explain the planned visit and relationship so we can assess whether a super visa or another route needs consideration.

General information, not advice about an individual matter. IRCC: visiting Canada. Check the official source for current requirements.
