We map officer concerns and the documents that fix them.
Book consultation →The right document depends on your nationality, purpose of visit, and how you are traveling to Canada.
Citizens of visa-required countries must obtain a Temporary Resident Visa before traveling to Canada by any means of transport.
Citizens of visa-exempt countries flying to Canada need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Quick online process - most approved within minutes.
The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and PRs to stay up to 5 years per visit - much longer than a standard TRV.
A TRV is a sticker in your passport issued by IRCC authorizing you to travel to Canada. The border officer decides your actual length of stay at the port of entry (typically 6 months). Whether you're applying for a visit visa to Canada from Dubai, UAE, Philippines, India, Saudi Arabia (KSA), or Spain - the requirements are the same and VMC handles the full file.
Check if your country is on the visa-required list. Dual citizens - your travel document determines if you need a TRV.
