✈️ Visit Canada: Visitor & Transit Visas

Explore Canada with confidence—whether it’s a holiday, family visit, business trip, or transit stop. Turaco Immigration provides expert support to help you secure the right visitor document and prepare for your journey.

🌍 Do You Need a Visa or eTA?

Visa-exempt travelers (e.g., many EU countries, U.S. green card holders): you may require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if arriving by air.

All others must apply for a Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa – TRV) before entering Canada.

🎒 Types of Visitor Visas
