Overview

Canada Visitor Visa for Indians

Plan a Canadian holiday, a family reunion or a short visit with a temporary resident visitor visa. Lake Louise and Toronto illustrate two very different Canadian travel experiences; your application should describe the actual itinerary you intend to follow.

Choose the right route

Apply online through IRCC with your passport, visit purpose and financial evidence. Give biometrics if required and submit your passport only when IRCC requests it. A visitor visa does not provide permission to work.

Budget and application timing

The official visitor application fee is CAD 100 per person. Biometrics, when required, are CAD 85 per person; family caps and exemptions may apply. Visa-centre services and our assistance, if requested, are quoted separately.

The official IRCC processing data checked on 11 October 2026 listed 30 days for a visitor application from India. It is a changing estimate, not a deadline or guarantee; check the tool again before planning travel.

Read the decision carefully

IRCC decides the visa validity and whether entry is single or multiple. A visitor visa may be valid up to ten years, but can be shorter. Most visitors are admitted for up to six months; your actual border or visitor-record instructions control.
