When should I apply for my visa?

Start the process as early as possible. The processing time for your application varies depending on your destination.

How do I know if I need a visa?

A visa may be required to stay in certain countries or even simply to transit through them.  

 

To find out if you need a visa to travel to your chosen country, consult the Government of Canada’s Travel Advice and Advisories by destination. Select your destination and check the “Entry and exit requirements” section. You will find the necessary information under “Visas.” 

Good to know

  • Most visas must be issued before departure, not at destination.
  • A visa is often required for stays longer than 90 days.
  • Your passport must contain blank pages for visas, because they are usually stamped or affixed inside.
