Overview
The Canada Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa or TRV) allows Indian citizens to visit Canada for tourism, family visits, or business purposes. The application process is entirely online through the IRCC portal, with biometric enrollment required at a Visa Application Centre. Canada has one of the most efficient visa processing systems, with most applications decided within 15-30 days. The visitor visa is typically issued for the validity of your passport or up to 10 years, allowing multiple entries. Each visit can be up to 6 months. Indian applicants generally have good approval rates if they demonstrate strong ties to India, sufficient funds, and clear travel purpose. The online application system is user-friendly and transparent, allowing you to track your application status.
