As long as you do not have a criminal record, a medical inadmissability, or past or present affiliations that would threaten Canada’s national security, you may apply for a Visitor Visa to visit Canada. It is the applicant’s responsibility to prove that they have a good and compelling reason to return to their country of origin at the end of their trip, that they have the necessary funds to support themselves during their visit to Canada.
This Visa is suitable for those who want to vacation in Canada, visit their loved ones who reside in Canada, to explore investment and business opportunities in Canada, as well as those who want to take a language course that is 6 months or shorter in length. If the language student wishes to extend their stay in Canada after they have entered Canada, they may apply to extend their Visitor’s Visa before their stay is up.
