Temporary Resident Visa (TRV): The TRV is a visa that is affixed to your passport and allows you to enter Canada for temporary purposes. It is typically required for citizens of countries that are not visa-exempt or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) exempt.

Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA): The eTA is an electronic travel authorization required for visa-exempt foreign nationals who plan to fly to Canada. Citizens of countries with visa exemptions need to obtain an eTA before boarding their flight to Canada.

Eligibility Criteria: The eligibility criteria for a TRV or eTA include having a valid passport, being in good health, having enough funds for your stay in Canada, having no criminal record, and demonstrating ties to your home country that will compel you to return after your visit.

Application Process: To apply for a TRV or eTA, you will need to complete the application online or submit a paper application to the appropriate Canadian visa office in your country. You may be required to provide supporting documents, attend an interview, and pay the visa fee.

Duration of Stay: The TRV or eTA will specify the duration of your stay in Canada. As a visitor, you are generally allowed to stay in Canada for up to six months. However, the immigration officer at the port of entry will determine the exact length of your stay.

Extending Your Stay: If you wish to extend your stay beyond the allowed duration, you will need to apply for an extension before your current status expires. Extensions are not guaranteed and depend on the discretion of the immigration authorities.
