What is the difference between a single and a multiple-entry visa?

A single-entry visa lets you enter Canada only once, while a multiple-entry visa allows you to enter Canada many times as long as the visa is valid.

Note:

  • When you apply for a visitor visa, you are automatically considered for a multiple-entry visa. However, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reviews each application and decides which visa to issue.
  • If you have a single-entry visa and leave Canada, you will need a new visa to return, unless you are traveling directly to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon.
  • A multiple-entry visa is valid for up to 10 years or until one month before your passport expires, whichever comes first. With this visa, you can stay in Canada for up to six months each time you enter.

Do I need a visa if I’m transiting through Canada to another country?

Whether you need documents for transiting through Canada depends on your situation.

There are two main groups of travelers: those who need a visa (from visa-required countries) and those who need an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

Some travelers who need a visa must get a visitor visa if they are:

  • Visiting Canada, even for less than 48 hours
  • Staying in Canada for more than 48 hours while transiting
  • Entering Canada by bus, car, train, boat, or cruise ship

Other visa-required travelers may only need a transit visa if they are:

  • Stopping at a Canadian airport on the way to another country.
  • Connecting between two international flights at a Canadian airport
  • Transiting through Canada in 48 hours or less
  • Without a valid visitor visa

Visa-exempt travelers need an eTA to transit through Canada by air. Those traveling by train, bus, boat, or cruise ship don't need an eTA but must have the correct travel documents.
