    VISITOR VISA.
    Purpose:
    The purpose of the visitor / tourist visa under the Canadian Immigration Act is to :
    · allow the entry of an individual who wishes to visit Canada for the purpose of doing trade with Canadian companies, for tourism and allow other foreigners to foster scientific and international understanding.
    · at the same time controlling entry of those who wish to involve in criminal activities in Canada or who are likely to put in danger the health and safety of the Canadian society.

    Who is a visitor:
    A definition of visitor is given under Sec. 2 (1) of The Immigration Act (Act) as a person who is lawfully in Canada as a visitor or who wishes to come into Canada
    for temporary purpose and who is not:
    a. a holder of minister’s permit;
    b. a Canadian permanent resident and citizen;
    c. an immigrant who is admitted into Canada as his/her examination cannot be concluded at the port of entry by the officer.
    What is a visitor visa:
    A visitor visa is a document or stamp on the passport (in most cases) which allows entry of a person in Canada as that person meets the requirements of the Act for the purpose of visiting Canada.
    This visa is issued by a visa officer at the Canadian post abroad.
    HOWEVER THERE ARE RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS OF CERTAIN COUNTRIES WHO DO NOT REQUIRE A VISITOR VISA OR IT MAY BE ISSUED AT THE PORT OF ENTRY IN CANADA.
