Visitors to Canada are people who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents. In order to enter as a visitor, you may need a Temporary Resident Visa otherwise known as a TRV or a visitor’s visa. This document demonstrates that you have met the requirements for admission to Canada. Citizens of some countries do not require a visitor’s visa. If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Canada, you must know, that you cannot obtain a Temporary Resident Visa upon arrival in Canada – it must be approved before your departure.

Citizens from non-visa requiring countries do require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eta) to travel to Canada

If you intend to work or study in Canada and are from a visa requiring a country you will require a Temporary Resident Visa in addition to your work/study permission. Because this visa is temporary, there are limits on the amount of time you can stay in Canada.
