2. Temporary Resident Visas for Canada
Introduction to Temporary Resident Visas for Canada
A Canadian temporary resident visa is an official document issued by a
Canadian visa office. The temporary resident visa is placed in your
passport to show that you have met the requirements for admission to
Canada as a visitor, student or temporary worker. It does not guarantee
your admission to the country. When you arrive at the point of entry, an
officer from the Canada Border Service Agency will decide if you will be
admitted. A change of circumstances between the time of your
application for a temporary resident visa and your arrival in Canada or
additional information available could still result in you being refused
entry.

for six months.
multiple entry visa – allows you to enter Canada as many times as you
wish for the time validated for your stay in Canada.

scheduled departure date. If you are mailing your application, you should allow a
minimum of eight weeks.
However, processing times vary depending on the visa office where you apply. The
Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada maintains statistical information on
processing times to give you an idea of how long applications at different visa offices have
taken in the past to use as a general guideline.
Citizens of certain countries may need to complete additional formalities which could add
several weeks or longer to the normal processing time. You will be advised if these
requirements apply to you.
If you require a medical exam, it could add several months to the application processing
time. Generally, no medical exam is required if you plan to visit Canada for less than six
months. If you require a medical exam, a Canadian immigration officer will tell you and
send you instructions.
