🇨🇦 Canada Visitor Visa
Citizens of the Republic of Türkiye who wish to visit their family members, relatives, or friends living in Canada are required to obtain a Canada Visitor Visa (Visitor Visa) before their trip. This visa category grants entry for visiting purposes only; it does not provide the right to work or settle in the country. With Marsel Visa, your entire application process is handled professionally, from preparing the necessary documents to submitting them to the consulate, ensuring that your application is completed securely and accurately.
📌 Canada Visitor Visa Application Process
As of July 31, 2018, fingerprint registration has been mandatory for Canada visitor visa applications. Applicants must appear in person at the consulate on the day of their appointment to provide biometric data. Once your documents are delivered to Marsel Visa by courier or cargo, our experts will review them, prepare your file, and coordinate your consulate submission on your behalf.
Applications are usually finalized within 10–15 business days, although processing times may be extended depending on official holidays and consulate workload. To avoid the risk of delays, it is recommended that you apply at least one month before your planned trip.
📝 Required Documents for a Canada Visitor Visa
Visitor visa applications consist of standard documents as well as additional documents depending on your professional or social status.
Standard Documents include an official invitation letter from the host residing in Canada, a valid passport with at least six months validity and two blank pages, a photocopy of your national ID, a full population registration certificate, biometric photographs, the completed Canada visitor visa application form and family information form, recent bank account statements showing sufficient funds, as well as flight and hotel reservations. Additional supporting documents such as property deeds, vehicle registrations, and rental income certificates may also be submitted to strengthen your application.
