What this visa is for

The Canada Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is required for travellers who are not eligible for the visa-exempt Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Portuguese passport holders usually travel with an eTA; the TRV is needed by most third-country nationals.

Eligibility

  • Third-country nationals residing in Portugal.
  • Travellers with valid travel reasons: tourism, family, business.
  • Applicants who can demonstrate ties to Portugal and intent to return.

Documents

  • Valid passport and Portuguese residence documentation.
  • Proof of funds and financial support.
  • Travel and accommodation plans.
  • Purpose-of-visit supporting documents.
  • Biometric enrolment at the Visa Application Centre.

Processing and fees

Standard processing is 4–8 weeks. The CAD $100 government fee plus CAD $85 biometric fee are paid directly to IRCC. Our service fee covers application review, submission, biometric booking, and tracking through the IRCC portal.
