Canada Visitor Visa Guidance for Travellers from India
The Canada Visitor Visa, officially known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows individuals to travel to Canada for a short period to visit family and friends, experience Canadian culture, or explore tourism and leisure opportunities.
At Visaxpress, we provide advisory and document-preparation support to help you understand the eligibility criteria, gather required documents, and organize your application package in line with the official requirements of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
A Visitor Visa (TRV) may be issued for single or multiple entries, depending on IRCC’s assessment of your individual case. While the duration of each stay is determined by the immigration officer at the port of entry, visitors are typically permitted to stay in Canada for up to six months per visit.
It is important to note that the Visitor Visa does not authorize work or study in Canada. If you wish to undertake employment or academic activities, you will need to apply for the appropriate work or study permit.

Leisure & Vacation Travel
A Canada Visitor Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), is for individuals who wish to travel to Canada for a short period for tourism, family visits, or leisure activities.
Most foreign nationals, including travellers from India, require a TRV before entering Canada unless they hold a visa-exempt passport.
​
To be eligible, applicants generally need to demonstrate that they:
​
-
Have a valid passport and meet the entry requirements for Canada.
-
Plan to stay temporarily and will return to their home country after their visit.
-
Have sufficient funds to cover travel and living expenses during their stay.
-
Have no criminal or immigration-related violations and are in good health.
-
Do not intend to work or study in Canada without proper authorization.
​
While there are no specific age limits or educational criteria, applicants must clearly show that their visit is temporary and genuine.
​
At Visaxpress, we help travellers understand these eligibility requirements and prepare supporting documents that align with IRCC expectations. Our goal is to make the process organized, transparent, and compliant with Canadian immigration standards.

Application Processing
IRCC reviews your file on a case-by-case basis. You may be contacted if further information is needed to finalize your application. -
Decision and Passport Submission
Once a decision is made, successful applicants receive a visa counterfoil (TRV) in their passport, allowing temporary entry to Canada for tourism or family visits.
​
Processing Timelines
Processing times can vary depending on several factors such as your country of residence, the volume of applications received, and the completeness of your documentation. On average, visitor visa applications from India may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

Documents Required for a Canada Visitor Visa (TRV)
Understanding Financial Requirements for a Canada Visitor Visa (TRV)
To visit Canada temporarily, applicants must demonstrate that they have enough funds to cover travel and living expenses during their stay.
While Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not specify a fixed minimum amount, your financial documents should show that you can support yourself — and any accompanying family members — for the full duration of your trip.
​
Typical Financial Evidence Includes:
​
-
Recent Bank Statements showing sufficient account balance and transaction history.
-
Proof of Employment or Business Income, such as pay slips, employer letters, or tax documents.
-
Sponsorship Letter, if someone in Canada will be covering your expenses, along with their financial proof.
-
Travel Plan or Itinerary outlining estimated expenses like airfare, accommodation, and daily costs.
-
Additional Assets or Savings, such as fixed deposits or property ownership (if relevant).
​
These documents help IRCC assess that your visit is temporary and that you can manage all expenses without working in Canada.
