Canadian visa policy for Egyptian citizens

Egyptian citizens need a visa to visit Canada, and the most common option is the Canada Visitor Visa, which must be obtained before departure. The Canada Visitor Visa application process for Egyptian citizens includes an appointment at a visa application center to provide biometric data (fingerprints and photo). In some cases, applicants may also be required to attend an interview.

iVisa offers two entry documents for Egyptian travelers:

Canada Visitor Visa: A mandatory visa that allows Egyptian citizens to enter Canada for tourism, visiting family or friends, or short business trips. It is typically a multiple-entry visa and permits stays of up to 6 months per visit, depending on the conditions granted by Canada immigration authorities.
ArriveCAN: A digital travel and customs form that travelers may need to complete before arrival in Canada. It collects key travel details, contact information, and customs declarations to support smoother entry procedures.

General Canada visa requirements for Egyptian travelers are:
an Egyptian passport valid for the duration of the intended stay
Biometric data submission at a visa application center
Passport-style photo (if required)
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay
Supporting documents such as employment letters of invitation letters (if applicable)
