Visitor Visa

Unless Visa Exempt, most people  need a Visitor Visa to travel to Canada. In order to apply for a Visitor Visa, individuals could apply online or on paper to a Visa Application Center.  The application fee for one person is $100 or a maximum of $500 for a family.  Virtually everybody who applies for a Visitor Visa is required to give their biometrics unless they have done so in the past 10 years.  Biometric fees for individuals are CAD 85 and CAD 170 for families. Medical exams are not required in the majority of the cases.
