Applying for visit visas for various nations across the world is simple due to Dubai’s position as a hub for international trade and tourism. One can apply for a Canada visit visa from Dubai in a relatively straightforward manner with a high likelihood of success (provided they meet the Canada visa requirements). How to apply for a Canada visit visa from Dubai for travel or business is explained in today’s blog post.
What is a visit visa?
Your passport will be stamped with a visitor visa, often known as a temporary residence visa. It demonstrates that you are eligible to enter Canada.
Most visitors to Canada require a visiting visa. If you’re traveling through a Canadian airport in transit before arriving at your final location, you could additionally require one.
A guest visa application is available online.
How long can you stay in Canada on a visa from the UAE?
Most travelers to Canada are permitted to stay for up to six months.
The border services officer at the point of entrance may let you stay for less than or more than six months. If so, they will record the deadline for your departure in your passport. They might also give you a document, called a visitor record, which will show the date you need to leave by.
If you don’t get a stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. If you need a stamp, you can ask a border services officer for one.
