Temporary Resident Visa Canada (TRV)

A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) allows foreign nationals to enter Canada for a temporary stay. Whether you are visiting, extending your stay, or resolving a status issue, we help you prepare a strong application and avoid common mistakes.

What Is a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)?

A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly known as a visitor visa, is an official document issued by the Government of Canada that allows you to travel to Canada for a temporary purpose.

This includes tourism, visiting family, or short-term business activities. A TRV is usually required for citizens of visa-required countries.

Who Needs a TRV?

You may need a Temporary Resident Visa if

  • You are from a visa-required country
  • You plan to visit Canada temporarily
  • You need to re-enter Canada after travel
  • Your current visa has expired and requires renewal

Eligibility depends on your nationality and travel purpose.

TRV vs Visitor Record

It is important to understand the difference:
