Temporary Resident Visas
Temporary Resident Visas
Also very often is called a Tourist Visa or a Guest Visa, depending on the purpose of the visit. This visa is granted on the basis of compliance with all the criteria necessary to enter Canada. It provides an opportunity to appear before an immigration officer at the border but does not guarantee entry into the country. The final decision on the provision of temporary residence depends on the decision of the officer. The maximum stay for a visa of this type is up to six months and subsequently may be extended.
Super Visas
Super Visa or Visa for Parents and Grandparents
This visa is for parents and grandparents of permanent residents of Canada (PR) or Canadian citizens. This visa is issued on the basis of proof of the relationship and the financial abilities of the Canadian host. One of the requirements of a Super Visa is the availability of insurance for parents and grandparents. This visa allows them to stay in Canada for up to 2 years, (unlike a regular visa) and can be extended.
Study Permits/ Visas
Study Permit/ Visas
A study visa/permit provides foreign citizens with the opportunity to stay in the country for the purpose of studying. If the period of study is six months or more, it is necessary to obtain a study permit. There are certain requirements for obtaining a permit, for example, receiving a “Standard Enrollment Letter” from an educational institution.
Work Permits/Visas
Work Permit/ Visas
Work visas are granted to foreign citizens under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). A visa can only be obtained if the employer applies for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a Labour Market Impact Assessment Exemption (LMIAE). Filing an application involves the submission of a large package of documents and compliance with the requirements for the employer.
In order to enter Canada in this case, a foreign citizen needs not only confirmation of the LMIA accepted, but also a work permit issued.

Your visa got refused what to do next?
You were denied a visa - What are your next steps?
A negative result when trying to obtain a visa to Canada often arises for several reasons. The most common ones are:
-
self-submission of documents,
-
submission of documents through an unauthorized company/person (see "Who can represent your interests").
In the first case, due to a lack of information and experience in immigration and visa issues, clients often learn from their own mistakes. This leads to a loss of time and, as a result, a refusal of a visa application. Experience is gained, but the situation has changed, and this experience becomes useless.
In the second case, the situation may be aggravated by the fact that unauthorized companies/persons, due to their incompetence, can ruin your immigration file (and the immigration history as a whole). The responsibility of such persons to you will be zero, as there is simply no leverage on these companies. The primary purpose of these companies is to collect money for attractive promises and nothing more.
However, if you have already encountered the situations described above and received a refusal, then this is not a reason for despair. Our company has extensive practical experience in recovering damaged immigration files. We are making a formal request to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for complete information on your past applications. Our specialists will conduct a thorough analysis of the submitted documents and immigration forms, identifying any errors. Next, we will develop an individual strategy that will help us resubmit your new application and increase your chances of success.
Clients with multiple denials often contact us. And in the vast majority of cases, we achieve positive results when submitting documents after our work.
Temporary Residence – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a Temporary Resident Visa (Visitor Visa) for Canada?
A: A Visitor Visa (TRV) allows foreign nationals to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, family visits, or short business trips. Most visitors can stay up to six months per entry unless otherwise specified.
Q2: Do I need a Visitor Visa if I am from a visa-exempt country?
A: Visa-exempt travelers usually need an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to fly to Canada. Citizens of visa-required countries must apply for a Visitor Visa (TRV).
Q3: How long does it take to get a Visitor Visa or Study/Work Permit?
A: Processing times vary by country and season. Typical ranges are several weeks to a few months. Applying with complete, accurate documents helps avoid delays.

Q9: Can I apply for a Study Permit from inside Canada?
A: Yes, in certain cases—such as completing a short-term course in Canada, being a minor studying at the primary or secondary level, or holding valid work or visitor status—you may apply for a Study Permit from inside Canada.
Q10: What is the difference between an Open Work Permit and an Employer-Specific Work Permit?
A: An Open Work Permit lets you work for almost any employer in Canada, while an Employer-Specific Work Permit is tied to a specific employer, job, and location listed in your permit.
Q11: Do I need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for a Work Permit?
A: In many cases, yes—but some jobs are LMIA-exempt (such as intra-company transfers, certain trade agreements, and work under International Experience Canada). An LMIA is a document showing there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job.
