Your hub for all Canadian Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) discussions. Get help with biometrics, providing proof of funds, itinerary tips, and application timelines.
Use this category for all discussions related to applying for a Canadian Visitor Visa (TRV).
-
This category is the primary resource for applicants navigating the Canadian visitor visa process. The application is heavily document-based, and this forum is the place to share experiences, get community advice on creating a strong application, and understand the various steps, from online submission to passport request.
-
This category is exclusively for the Canadian TRV. Its process is unique and different from our other categories. For example, unlike the U.S. visa, it generally does not require a mandatory interview. However, it does have a required in-person biometrics (fingerprints and photo) appointment, which is a key step not present in all other systems.
