To begin, you’ll need to identify the right visa type – whether a Standard Visitor Visa, Family Visitor Visa, or Business Visitor Visa—based on your travel purpose. Next, complete the online application on the IRCC website, sharing your personal details, travel plans, and reason for visiting. You’ll need to gather key documents: a valid passport, recent passport-sized photos, bank statements showing you can cover your trip, a travel itinerary, proof of ties to your home country (like a job or family), and travel medical insurance. An invitation letter may be required for family or business visits.

After applying, you’ll book a biometrics appointment for fingerprints and a photo, then pay the visa fee, which varies by visa type and duration (check IRCC or JAJ Immigration for current rates). Some applicants might need to attend an interview at a visa center for extra clarification. Processing times depend on the visa type and application volume, and you’ll be notified once a decision is made. If approved, your passport will be stamped with the visa.

Accuracy is everything – ensure all information is complete and meets IRCC requirements. Missing documents or errors can delay or derail your application. JAJ Immigration offers expert RCIC support, guiding you through each step, from choosing the right visa to submitting a polished application, so you can focus on planning your Canadian adventure with confidence.
