From boasting snow-covered mountain peaks and breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls to offering both a simple countryside lifestyle as well as meticulously planned cosmopolitan cities, this North American country attracts legions of tourists every year. It is also a top-rated tourist destination among those living in Pakistan. So, if you are planning a trip to the beautiful country, you\u2019ll first need to obtain a Canada Visitor Visa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the visa application process can be rather overwhelming and may even appear a little daunting for green passport holders, we\u2019ve brought you a detailed guide on how to apply for a Canadian visa from Pakistan for the purpose of tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you are a dual-national and hold the nationality of Canada, the United States or any other country apart from Pakistan, you will most likely have to get a visit visa for Canada to be able to travel there. However, if you are a dual-nationality holder, you may only need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to be able to enter the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we discuss the eligibility criteria for Canada Visitor Visa, application requirements and process, let\u2019s take a look at the main types of Canadian visas that one can apply for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Types-of-Canadian-Visas\"><strong>Types of Canadian Visas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/types-of-Canadian-Visas-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Types of Canadian Visas\" class=\"wp-image-83333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/types-of-Canadian-Visas-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/types-of-Canadian-Visas-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/types-of-Canadian-Visas-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/types-of-Canadian-Visas-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/types-of-Canadian-Visas.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The main categories of Canadian visas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the different types and categories of visas offered by the Canadian government.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Visitor visas<\/li><li>Work visas<\/li><li>Student visas<\/li><li>Business Immigrant visas<\/li><li>Express Entry Program visas<\/li><li>Permanent Residence visas<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to apply for a Canadian visa from Pakistan, you must first figure out which of these visas fit the motive of your visits. If you are only travelling to meet your family members, friends or for recreational purposes, you\u2019ll have to apply for a Canada Visit Visa. On the other hand, if you\u2019re planning to study or work in Canada, you may have to obtain a Student Visa or Work Visa instead. These are also called Temporary Visas. Permanent residence visas, business immigrant visas and express entry program visas are all types of permanent visas where the applicant shows his or her intent to stay in the country for a longer period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must select the type of visa that best suits your purpose of visit. However, we\u2019ll be focusing on Visitor Visa, which is a Temporary Resident Visa, better known as TRV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-trv\"><strong>Canadian Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/How-to-Apply-for-Canadian-Visa-from-Pakistan-D-03-03-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"how to apply for Canada visa from Pakistan\" class=\"wp-image-83334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/How-to-Apply-for-Canadian-Visa-from-Pakistan-D-03-03-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/How-to-Apply-for-Canadian-Visa-from-Pakistan-D-03-03-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/How-to-Apply-for-Canadian-Visa-from-Pakistan-D-03-03-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/How-to-Apply-for-Canadian-Visa-from-Pakistan-D-03-03-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/How-to-Apply-for-Canadian-Visa-from-Pakistan-D-03-03.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>TRV is a short-term visa that allows you to stay in Canada for up to 6 months at a time<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, these visas are issued to people who want to visit Canada for a short period of time (six months or less).

You won\u2019t have to pay charges for courier nor will have to wait for mail delivery time. Instead, your application will be received and processed more quickly than the ones submitted manually.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, when applying online, the system will notify you about missing documents or incomplete information. Similarly, you can quickly submit additional documents online if needed and check the status of your application through your online account. On the other hand, those applying in person will have to rely on regular mail to receive and send documents, which can be time-consuming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, whether you apply online or in person, you will be required to visit the Canadian Consulate for an interview or biometrics, if required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since most people apply for a Canadian tourist visa online, here\u2019s a step-by-guide on how to go about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Visit the official Government of Canada website, click on \u2018Immigration and Citizenship,\u2019 and then click on \u2018Visit.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Click on \u2018Find out if you need a visa.\u2019 You will be redirected to a survey, which you can fill to find out if you need a Canada visitor visa or an ETA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>If you are found eligible for a visa, click on \u2018Apply for a Visitor Visa\u2019 button. It will redirect you to a webpage containing all the pertinent information about the application process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve read all the information, click on \u2018Apply\u2019 in the top navigation bar and select your chosen method of application submission. If you choose \u2018on paper,\u2019 you\u2019ll be asked to download an application package. It will also include the complete Canada visitor visa checklist. However, if you choose the \u2018online\u2019 option, you will be redirected to another page. Click on \u2018Apply for a visitor visa\u2019 to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: <\/strong>If you are applying to get a visitor visa for Canada for the first time, you will have to click on the \u2018Register\u2019 button&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> You can now register for an IRCC secure account with either a GC Key or a Sign-In Partner. The latter requires your Canadian online banking information, so it\u2019s recommended to register with a GC Key. Click on the required button to get redirected to the next page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Once logged in, you can start working on your online Canadian visa application form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 8: <\/strong>Upload scans of required documents and submit your application along with the application fee. For this, you\u2019ll need a valid Credit or Debit Card.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> It takes about 5 days for an application to appear on your IRCC account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 10:<\/strong> If your application is reviewed positively, you will be required to visit the Canadian Consulate for an interview and\/or biometric information. Please note that there is a separate fee for biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 11:<\/strong> Once your Canadian visa application is approved, you\u2019ll have to submit your passport to the consulate for stamping. For online applicants, the consulate will notify you where to send your passport for further processing. You will also have to pay a processing fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 12:<\/strong> Your stamped passport will either be handed over or mailed back to you. Once you receive it, check all the details to make sure there aren\u2019t any errors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now start making arrangements for your travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"canada-visa-fee\"><strong>Canadian Visitor Visa Application Fee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how much a visitor visa application for Canada costs?

Although this doesn\u2019t happen without a justifiable reason, one must make sure to answer each question honestly and accurately to avoid any complications in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, if you are planning a trip to Europe instead, make sure to check out our comprehensive guide on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/apply-schengen-visa-from-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\">how to apply for Schengen visa from Pakistan<\/a>.
