Canada

Canadian Tourist Visa

Why I am writing this post?

This is because there is a large Indian community settled in Canada. There is a huge Punjabi community in Canada. 

With immigration becoming challenging day by day in the United States, many Indians want to settle in Canada. Plus Canada’s reputation as a country is second to none. Therefore, Canadian Visa is in huge demand.

But this post is not about the Canadian Visa for immigration. This is for the Canadian Tourist Visa. If some family member or relative wants to visit Canada he/she may apply for a tourist visa. 

Like the USA Tourist Visa, it is advised to process the Canadian Visa from a Visa consultant.  Canadian Tourist Visa is a 90-day single entry.
