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.
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.
For applicants from India, the Canada visa processing time can be slightly different. Generally, it takes about 28 Days for a Visitor Visa, while a Work Permit might take up to 8 weeks as of January 2024.
Online Application – 28 Working Days
Papaer Based Appplication – 60 Working Days.
The required bank balance for a Canada tourist visa application can vary depending on factors like the length of your stay and your travel plans. Generally, it is recommended to have a balance of at least CAD 10,000 (approximately INR 6,30,000) when applying for a tourist visa to Canada.
- Ensure your passport is valid for the entire duration of your stay in Canada.
- Clearly specify the purpose of your trip, whether it’s for tourism, visiting family, or conducting business.
- Demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses while in Canada.
- If applicable, include a letter of invitation from a host in Canada, such as a family member or friend.
- Submit a police clearance certificate to confirm that you have no criminal record.

Immediate family members are defined as:
- Spouse or common-law partner

When applying for an emergency biometric appointment, applicants must present proof of the emergency (one of the following) when attending their appointment at the VAC:

If your account shows insufficient funds, consider including supplementary documents that prove access to financial resources, such as a letter from a sponsor or proof of an education loan.
Yes, but ensure these documents are certified by your bank. Uncertified online statements may raise questions about their authenticity.
Your bank account statements are crucial documents in your Canadian visa application. They serve as proof of your financial stability and your ability to support yourself during your stay in Canada. Visa officers review these documents meticulously to assess whether you meet the financial criteria set by the Canadian immigration authorities.
