📌 Frequently Asked Questions About the Canada Business Visa
How long does it take to get a Canada business visa?
Applications are generally concluded within 8 to 21 calendar days. However, depending on the workload of the consulate and official holidays, the process may take more than one month. In urgent cases, faster results may also be possible.
Can holders of a U.S. visa enter Canada?
No. A separate Canada visa application must be made, and a visa must be obtained.
How can I get a Canada business visa?
You can apply with an official invitation letter or acceptance letter from the company you are cooperating with in Canada.
How can I obtain a business invitation?
The company in Canada with which you are cooperating must issue an invitation letter on company letterhead. The letter should clearly state the inviting company’s name and address, the invited person’s full identity details, the company they work for, their position, the purpose and duration of the visit, and who will cover the travel expenses.
What is the ArriveCAN application?
Travelers to Canada must upload their vaccination certificates to the ArriveCAN application within 72 hours before their flight. The application is free and can be downloaded from Canada.ca. After uploading, you must present the receipt obtained from the application at border control, along with two recent biometric photographs.
Should flight tickets be purchased before the visa is finalized?
Hotel reservations and accommodation details must be included in the application file. However, there is no obligation to purchase flight tickets. We recommend purchasing your ticket only after the visa has been approved.
📝 Required Documents for a Canada Business Visa
The documents required for a Canada business visa are divided into two groups: standard documents and additional documents depending on your professional or social status.
Standard Documents include a valid passport issued within the last ten years, a photocopy of your national ID, a full population registration certificate, a fully completed Canada business visa application form, recent biometric photographs, official bank account statements covering the last three months with a minimum balance of 45,000 TL, as well as flight reservations and hotel bookings for the duration of your stay. Supporting documents such as property deeds, vehicle registrations, rental income, and additional bank statements may also be submitted to demonstrate financial sufficiency.
Additional Documents Depending on Professional Status vary according to the applicant’s situation. Employees must submit an employer’s letter on company letterhead confirming their position and leave of absence, SGK employment entry declaration, social security service statement, and salary slips for the last three months. Business owners must provide their company’s certificate of activity, trade registry gazette, updated tax certificate, and corporate bank statements. Self-employed applicants are required to present professional chamber registration documents, a recent tax certificate, and bank account statements. In all cases, the business invitation letter from the Canadian partner company is the most critical document.
⏳ Canada Business Visa Processing Time
Canada business visa applications are generally finalized within 8 to 21 days. However, depending on official holidays and consulate workload, the process may extend to 1 or 2 months. It is recommended to apply at least 1 month before your planned travel date.
