A Canadian business visa is a type of Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) designed for foreign nationals who intend to visit Canada for legitimate business purposes. While it does not permit direct employment in Canada, it facilitates short-term business activities that support international trade and investment.

This visa is typically granted under visa categories D (Diplomatic), O (Official), or C (Courtesy), depending on the nature of the mission and the applicant’s status.

To qualify, applicants must provide a letter of acceptance from a recognized institution, demonstrate sufficient financial resources to cover tuition and living expenses, and meet other eligibility criteria, including health and security checks.

Applicants must meet specific eligibility criteria based on education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. Permanent residents must comply with residency obligations and may apply for Canadian citizenship after meeting the required period of physical presence.
