If you weren’t already considering Canada for your next vacation, you definitely should be now. Why? No matter what you look for when you travel, Canada can deliver. Want outdoor adventure? We've got that. Food, art, culture? There's plenty of that, too. Plus, there's stunning nature, vibrant cities, and friendly locals to add to it all.
A huge number of guests and sightseers rush to Canada consistently to visit loved ones or to simply encounter Canada’s normal magnificence. However, you first need a Canada Visitor Visa to enter the country. A Canada Tourist Visa is an official document issued by a Canadian Visa Office which is attached to your passport. It is proof that you have met the requirements to enter the country as a temporary resident (either as a visitor, a student, or a worker). It is officially referred to as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).
Single Entry Visa: A Single-Entry Visa allows you to enter Canada once. The longest time you can stay in Canada under this type of visa is six months. The date by which you must leave the country is stamped in your passport. In case you have a study permit or work permit, the same expiry date will be printed on the passport. After you depart from the country, the visa ceases to be valid and if you wish to travel again, then a fresh visa should be applied for.
Multiple Entry Visa: Unlike the Single-Entry Visa, Multiple Entry allows you to enter Canada more than one time during the time your visa is valid. This visa is usually valid for 10 years or one month before your passport expires, whichever is shorter. Your visa will state the number of times you can enter the country. You must arrive in Canada on or before the expiry date of your visa.
