🇨🇦 Canada Visa Application
For your travels to Canada, it is mandatory to apply for a visa. With Marsel Visa, you can complete your Canada tourist visa, business visa, family/relative/friend visit visa, student visa, and transit visa applications quickly, securely, and accurately with the help of our professional team. Determining the visa category that best suits your purpose of travel, preparing the required documents, and managing the application correctly are the most important steps of the process.
📌 Canada Visa Application Process
The fingerprint procedure in Canada visa applications became mandatory as of July 31, 2018. However, Canadian Consulates do not have regional restrictions in Türkiye. Therefore, regardless of the province you reside in, you can complete your application without personally visiting the consulate by sending your documents via cargo or courier to Marsel Visa.
Canada visa applications are usually concluded within 15–35 days. For foreign nationals applying from Türkiye, this period may take longer. It is recommended to apply at least 1 month before your planned travel date.
📝 Canada Visa Application Forms
In Canada visa applications, there are two forms to be filled out: the Visa Application Form and the Family Information Form. Since family registration details are required in the family information form, it is important to present a full population registration certificate.
If you need your passport for another process, you can apply without submitting the original passport by writing a petition. In this case, the visa of the country you are traveling to and the purchased flight ticket must be submitted. Copies of the passport’s identification page and all pages with visas must also be included in the file.
🛂 Canada Visa Types
Through Marsel Visa, you can apply for the following visas:
- Canada tourist visa (Visitor Visa)
- Canada business visa (business and fair visits)
- Canada family, relative, friend visit visa
- Canada student visa
- Canada transit visa
For short-term visits to Canada, you must apply for a Visitor Visa. This visa category does not grant the right to work or establish a business in Canada. Canada is not a Schengen member state, therefore the Canadian visa only grants the right to enter Canada.
📌 No Need to Be Present in Person for Canada Visa Applications
You do not need to be personally present at the consulate during Canada visa applications. By sending your documents via cargo or courier to Marsel Visa, we complete the entire process on your behalf. Applications are accepted from all regions of Türkiye, and there are no jurisdictional limitations.
⏳ Canada Visa Processing Time
Canada visas are usually concluded within 15–35 days. However, consulate workload, official holidays, or requests for additional documents may extend this period. If you have previously obtained a Canada or U.S. visa (valid or expired), the process may be completed more quickly.
📑 Required Documents for a Canada Visa
The main documents required for a Canada visa application are:
- Documents showing your travel itinerary
- Hotel reservation or accommodation details
- Passport with sufficient validity period
- Bank account statements or documents proving financial sufficiency
Additional documents are requested depending on the visa type. According to the purpose of your trip, Marsel Visa consultants provide you with detailed information about the documents to be prepared and ensure that your application is made completely and accurately. It is especially important that the information declared in your documents is consistent and up to date.
💰 Canada Visa Fee 2025
Canada visa fees are now paid online during the appointment process. This fee includes document scanning, form filling, and all consultancy services. Fees differ for long-term student visas and work permit applications.
❌ Canada Visa Refusal
Your Canada visa application may be refused for certain reasons. In such cases, the Canadian Consulate will send an official refusal letter in English, explaining the reasons for refusal, to the contact address you provided. Once you identify the missing or incorrect points, you can reapply. Please note that consulates do not refund visa fees for refused applications. The authority to approve or reject visa applications belongs solely to the Canadian Consulate. Intermediary institutions do not have any authority in this matter.
