A Canadian Business Visitor Visa is a Visitor Visa for businesspeople and for investors interested in exploring business prospects in Canada.

An applicant who is interested in a business visitor visa should have their main source of income and business outside of Canada. Such an individual would need to first conduct an exploratory visit to Canada for business and for investment purposes. The visa is similar to a visitor visa and allows one to enter the country and stay for a defined period of time.

A Canadian Business Visa is highly sought after and hence extremely competitive. Those interested in applying for such a visa would have to be well-versed in the legal stipulations set in place by the immigration department of the Canadian government [Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada ("IRCC", formerly "CIC"] Failure to meet any criteria may be met with rejection. Seek the services of an experienced immigration consultant when applying for this visa.

Who can apply for a Canadian Business Visa?

Businesspeople and investors who wish to explore business and investment opportunities in Canada should seek a business visitor’s visa. The purpose of the trip can range from:

  • Attending a seminar
  • Meeting with business partners in Canada
  • Surveying an area where a new business venture would be launched
  • Meeting in person with the seller of an existing business
  • And much more…

If an individual is from a non-visa-exempt country, he or she would need to apply for a business visitor visa well before entering Canada.
