FEDERAL IMMIGRATION PROGRAMS
Temporary Residence Visas
Each year, many thousands of people come to Canada to work*, study**, or visit***. If you have a school you want to attend, or you have an employer who wants to hire you, or you just want to visit our country temporarily, please send us an email, fax or letter, or call us and tell us about your plans. In all cases you must have no criminal or medical issues and you must have adequate funds to pay for your travel and expenses during your time in Canada. Students must also be able to prove that they have adequate funds to pay their tuition while they are in Canada.
If you stay longer than your visa allows and come to us less than 90 days after your visa expires we may be able to have your status restored.
In other cases, you may be inadmissible to Canada for reasons of a minor criminal offence or a breach of Canadian immigration law, but we may still be able to apply for admission for you on a temporary residence permit.
*We are not an employment service so we will not be able to find jobs for applicants seeking work permits in Canada.
**If you are a student and need help finding a school we may be able to assist you in selecting a school.
*** Sponsorship applications for parents and grand-parents have been suspended until the middle of 2013 but they may now apply for a Supervisa which is a 10 year multiple entry visitor visa that allows a stay for up to 2 years at a time.
