Canada Visa FAQs

When is the best time to apply for my Canada visa?
The best time to apply for your Canada visa is 1-2 months before your travel date. However, if you are running short on time, we may be able to process your visa on a faster service at the Embassy’s discretion.

Do I have to send you my passport to get a Canada visa? Is it safe to send a passport?
Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Canada visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application by a secure method, such as a guaranteed postal service or courier.

4. Visa Conditions

   Applicants who have visited Canada for purposes other than tourism must check with Canadian immigration that they are not registered as a "previous resident" as this will need to be revoked prior to application.  

   Applicants who have a criminal record or have been deported or removed from any country may not be eligible for a visa or visa exemption and must contact the Embassy directly for confirmation.
