A Canadian Tourist Visa, also known as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows individuals to visit Canada for tourism, family visits, or short stays. Applicants must provide a valid passport, proof of financial support, ties to their home country, and a travel itinerary. Depending on the country of origin, biometrics or additional documentation may be required. The visa usually permits a stay of up to 6 months. Extensions can be requested if necessary, provided the visa holder meets the criteria.
