Choose the Right Visitor Stream

Tourist / Family & Friends

  • Purpose letter + itinerary (cities, dates, activities)
  • Funds & strong ties (employment, property, family)
  • Optional invitation for family/friends

Your documents should tell one story — the dates on your leave letter, bookings and bank statements all agreeing. We make sure they do.

Business Visitor

  • Meetings, conferences, after-sales service, short training
  • Company letters (UAE & Canada), agendas, contracts/invoices
  • No hands-on work for a Canadian employer (then it’s a work permit)

If duties become productive work, we’ll route you via Work Permits.

Canada Visit Visa — FAQs

Last updated: June 2026 — refusal-rate picture, GCMS guidance and processing expectations reviewed against current IRCC data for India- and UAE-lodged files.

Tourism, family/friends visits, short business activities (meetings, conferences, after-sales, short training). No long-term work or study.
Most UAE/GCC/Indian/Sri Lankan nationals apply for a TRV. eTA is only for certain visa-exempt passports travelling by air.
Provide bank statements, income, employment letters & leave approval, property/tenancy, family ties, and a credible itinerary.
Not for pure tourism. For family or business visits, an invitation/business letter strengthens your file.
Entry officer decides. Many visitors are admitted up to 6 months; carry papers supporting your stated duration.
Weak purpose, low/unclear funds, limited ties, inconsistent history, or incomplete forms. We fix these with a Rejection-Fix Audit.
Biometrics are usually required. Medicals and police certificates are case-by-case per IRCC instructions.
Business visitors do non-productive short activities. If work is hands-on for a Canadian employer, you likely need a work permit.
A longer-stay option for eligible parents/grandparents of Canadians/PRs. Requires medical insurance & financial criteria. Different to a standard TRV.
A TRV is temporary; separate eligibility applies for work/study. We can plan future pathways early so documents align.
IRCC's tightening cut approvals sharply — Indian applicants saw refusal rates above 50% in recent months, with some monthly spikes far higher, mostly on "ties to home country" and purpose-of-visit grounds rather than funds. A 2026 file needs to prove employment, property and family anchors that make your return obvious — not just a healthy balance.
Yes, order them. GCMS notes are the visa officer's actual case record, obtained under Access to Information in roughly 30–60 days, and they reveal the real reasoning the template refusal letter hides. Reapplying blind is how applicants stack multiple refusals; reapplying against the specific concern stated in the notes is how files get approved.
Immediately — there's no ban or cooling-off period. But every new application is read against your full history, so reapply only when you have material new evidence answering the refusal ground. Repeated identical applications signal desperation and make each refusal easier to issue than the last. One properly rebuilt file beats three rushed ones.
It varies sharply by visa office: files from India recently averaged around 99 days, while UAE-lodged files often move faster, with big peak-season swings. Check IRCC's live processing tool for your country, file three to four months before travel, and never book non-refundable tickets while a TRV is still pending.
Yes — Canada recognises dual intent, so a pending parents-and-grandparents sponsorship doesn't bar a visitor visa, provided your parents can show they'd leave if required. For parents of PRs and citizens, the Super Visa — five-year stays, with mandatory medical insurance — is usually the stronger option. We can sequence the visit around the sponsorship timeline.
