Visit Canada

 For any visit to Canada such as a holiday, for business or a conference, you will require a valid Electronic  Travel Authorization or visitor Visa before you depart. If you do not qualify for an eTA, you can apply for a Visitor visa. 

Canada tourist visas are of two types:

• Single entry visa
• Multiple entry visa

Both the visas are valid for a fixed period and cannot be used after they expire.
