Canada visitor visa: visiting family and friends<\/h1>\n\n\n

A visit to relatives or friends may require a visitor visa, also called a temporary resident visa or TRV. Visa or eTA requirements depend on your passport and how you travel; an eTA is not a universal visa substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n

Purpose and eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n

An invitation explains the relationship, purpose, dates, accommodation and payment arrangements. The actual host writes it. IRCC assesses the applicant and may request more evidence; an invitation does not guarantee a visa. This is a visitor trip, not permission to work in Canada.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n
