Our Canada visa application process

How to apply for your Canada visa with iVisa

1

Complete your online application

Answer a few simple questions, upload your documents, see when you’ll get your travel documents, and pay using secure methods. You can save your progress and come back anytime. Most people finish in under 10 minutes.

The Canada Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is our most popular travel document for this destination. We also offer the Advance CBSA Declaration so you can breeze through customs on arrival.

2

We review your application

The Canadian entry system has strict photo and document requirements – your photo must be the right size, and your passport scan must be clear.

Don’t worry – we review your whole application to catch anything that might cause delays. One of our experts checks everything for errors or missing information to make sure it’s ready to go. This review is quick but thorough.

3

We submit it for government processing

We’re not the Canadian government, but we submit your application to them and are here for you along the way if there are any problems.

4

Get your Canada eTA

We’ll email your approved eTA and let you know how to use it for your trip.

Visa types needed for Canada

  • Canada Visitor Visa
  • Canada eTA
  • Canada Advance CBSA Declaration
  • Canada Transit Visa*
  • Canada (Working Holiday) Visa*

Canada Visitor Visa

For tourism, visiting friends or family, and short business trips. Valid for up to 10 years (passport‑linked), with the maximum duration of each stay usually limited to 6 months. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the visa officer reviewing the application.

What documents you’ll need to apply for the Canada eTA:

  • Passport and travel document details
  • Flight information and arrival airport
  • Email address to receive your confirmation
  • Credit or debit card to pay for your application
  • Job information and salary slips

Canada eTA

The eTA is an electronic entry permit for visa‑exempt nationals flying to or transiting through Canada. It’s linked to your passport and allows multiple short visits. Travelers are allowed to visit family and friends, conduct business activities and tourism, or travel for educational purposes.

What documents you’ll need to apply for the Canada eTA:

  • Passport from an eTA‑eligible country and valid for the entire stay
  • Email address to receive the approval notice
  • Credit or debit card to pay for your application

Canada Advance CBSA Declaration

Canada’s Advance CBSA declaration isn’t a visa, but it can still greatly speed up your entry into Canada. The CBSA declaration is an electronic version of the pen and paper customs declaration that you have to present at the Canadian border.

You can fill out and submit this for 72 hours before traveling.

What documents you’ll need for the Advance CBSA Declaration:

  • Passport and travel document details
  • Flight information and arrival airport
  • List and details of goods you want to declare

Canada Transit Visa*

For travelers transiting through Canada to a third country, staying less than 48 hours.

Required for many nationals, even if they never leave the secure transit zone.

*We currently don’t offer this visa, but it’s available on the Canadian government.

Canada (Working Holiday) Visa*

With this visa, young travelers (usually 18–30 or 35) from partner countries can visit Canada for a holiday and short‑term work experience.

Qualifying travelers may apply for this program three times, each time choosing a different category: working holiday, young professionals, and international co-op (Internship). All participants must obtain health insurance for the entire stay.

*We currently don’t offer this visa, but it’s still available on the Canadian government website.

Canada visa policy

Canada’s visa policy includes a wide range of travel document options based on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and how long you intend to stay.

Citizens of visa-exempt countries can travel to Canada for short stays without a visa, but must first obtain an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) if arriving by air.

Nationals from visa-required countries must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (Visitor Visa) before entering Canada. This visa is commonly used for tourism, business travel, or visiting friends and family, and is often valid for multiple entries over a 10-year period, though each stay is generally limited to six months.

Travelers transiting through Canada for under 48 hours may require a Transit Visa, depending on their nationality, even if they remain airside at the airport.

For the most current and accurate visa information, travelers should refer to the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website or consult their nearest Canadian visa office.
