A Canada tourist visa is also known as Canada visitor visa or Canadian temporary Resident visa (TVR). Canada tourist visa is a temporary Canadian immigration which allows tourists to visit Canada for the purpose of tourism and leisure. A maximum period of six months is granted for the Canadian tourist visa.

Canada tourist visas are of two types and both the visas are valid for a fixed period and cannot be used after they expire.

• Single entry visa
• Multiple entry visa

A single entry visa allows the visa holder to enter Canada just once. A multiple entry visa allows a visitor to come and go from Canada for 6 months at a time, without having to re-apply each time. The multiple entry visa can be valid for up to 10 years, or one month before the visa holder’s passport expires, whichever happens earlier.
