Whether you are coming to visit family, a friend, or just as a tourist, you might want to check your passport. Most foreign nationals are required to have a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada. For those countries that are not visa-exempt, citizens are required to present a TRV at a point of entry into Canada. Does one also need a letter of invitation? What about the eTA? Proof of funds for period of stay? What about providing biometrics? Let us do all the work for you, the right way - contact us today.
