To obtain a visitor visa, an application must be submitted in your country of residence or nationality.

Visa Exempt Countries

Visitor on Business

If visiting for Business and planning on staying longer than 6 months or potentially working in the Canadian workforce, a work permit may be required. As a business visitor there may be other considerations when applying for a visa to visit Canada.

Parent & Grandparent Super Visa

Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents may apply for a super visa to visit Canada. With a super visa parents and grandparents can remain in Canada for up to 24 months in one visit and as added convenience, the super visa is usually issued for a period of 10yrs – which eliminates the need to reapply for multiple visas for each entry.

A requirement of obtaining a super visa is that applicants obtain medical insurance with minimum coverage of $100,000 and valid for minimum one year. The cost for this usually average between $600 to $1,500 CAD depending on parents’ age, personal health condition and deductible with many insurers offering flexible monthly payment options.
