Below are essential informations you have to know about Canada Immigration Application and eligibility

Business Visa

Canada is a highly developed economy and it attracts a lot of businesses and people who want to develop business relations. Sometimes these people might need to visit Canada and meet with potential business partners to develop their plans or sign business agreements. To enter Canada, they might also need a visa. That is why the Canadian government created the Business Persons and Business Delegations Visa. The Canada business visa allows those who want to go to Canada with the purposes of doing business with a Canadian company to enter the country and engage in the following activities:

  • Attend meetings.
  • Participate in conferences or workshops
  • Sign agreements, etc..

    • The Business Persons and Business Delegations Visa is a temporary visa, which means that the person who holds it can only stay in Canada for a short period of time, usually less than 6 months. Additionally, the person with this visa is not allowed to work for any company in Canada. They are only allowed to discuss business and sign any potential agreements. If you want to go to Canada to work temporarily, then you need a Workers Visa for Canada. With the Business Persons Visa, you are also not allowed to benefit from Canadian health coverage or apply to get Canadian documents.

    What are the eligibility criteria for Business Visa Canada ?

    In order to qualify for a Business Persons and Business Delegations Visa, there are certain conditions requirements that the potential applicant must fulfill. The eligibility criteria for the Canadian Business Visa are more extensive than the ones for visiting since the government and Embassy want to make sure that you will not try to work in Canada illegally. In addition to eligibility conditions that apply for all of the Temporary Resident Visas, the conditions that you must also fulfill are as follows:
  • You must have your own business in a country other than Canada or be an employee of a business registered in a country other than Canada.
  • You must have an income from a place of work that is located in a country other than Canada, so you cannot be an employee in Canada.
  • It is advisable to have a record of respecting other business visas from other countries.
  • You must have proof that you are developing a business relationship with a company in Canada or that you have been invited for a meeting, conference, or workshop.

    • If you do not fulfill these conditions, then it may be more difficult to convince the Canadian Embassy or Consulate to grant you the Business visa, or they might reject your application.

    How to Apply for the Canada Business Visa?
    If you meet the eligibility criteria explained above, then you can start your application process to get a Canada Business Visa. There are several steps you must go through, as follows:
    1. Confirm your eligibility for a Canada Business visa.
    2. Compile the document file and application forms for a Canada Business visa.
    3. Submit the Canada Business visa application.
    4. Wait for processing and respond to additional requests for information.
    5. Send your passport for stamping.

    Completing the document file for a Canada Business Visa.
    Within the application page, you will also have to submit the following supporting documents:
    Note: All documents must be in English or in French and if they have been translated, you must provide a certification that the translation is correct.
    Once you submit all the documents, you can then proceed to submit the application. After that, you will have to pay the visa application fee and your application will be completed.

    What are the Canada Business Visa fees ?
    The cost to apply for the Canadian Business Visa is CAD$100 with an additional fee of CAD$85 if you are asked to give your biometric information. So the application cost for the Business Visa is CAD$185.

    How Long is the Canada Business Visa processing time?

    Depending on the workload of the Canadian Embassy you are applying in, you will have to wait from 1 to 6 weeks or more for the Business Visa to be processed.

    How long is the Canada Business Visa Valid
    Since the Canadian Business Visa is a Temporary Resident Visa, it is not valid for more than 6 months. You are encouraged to stay only for the time that you have stated in your application, even if that is less than 6 months. The Embassy could give you a visa that is valid for a longer period, such as 3, 5 or even 10 years, but you must not stay for more than 6 months at a time.

    Can I bring my dependents with me to Canada with a business visa ?

    Since you are applying for a visa to attend a business meeting or a similar reason, you cannot bring your dependents to Canada with a business visa. Dependents, in this case, are your spouse or common-law partner and your minor children. If they want to accompany you for this trip, they must apply for a Canada Visitor Visa.

    What if your Canada study permit is declined ?

    Canadian study permits are in high demand so, unfortunately, it's common for applications to be rejected.

    Getting your application right in the first place can save you lots of stress and money. Here are some of the most common reasons behind rejections, and how to fix them.

    • Inadequate financial funds: Meeting the minimum financial threshold isn't always enough. Your application will be more convincing if it proves you have sufficient funds for more than just a year.
    • Unsuitable letter of acceptance: You need a watertight acceptance letter from a registered Canadian DLI.
    • Missing documents: If you fail to attach your language test scores and travel documents, your application will be rejected.
    • Plans to return home: Study permits are only temporary visas, so you need to prove that you intend to go back to your home country after your studies.

      • If your study permit is still rejected by the IRCC, you will be told why in the refusal letter. You can reapply for your study permit at any time, but make sure you've addressed the issues in your previous submission.

      If you think your first application was wrongly rejected, you can always launch an appeal.

      Please to view the requirements go up to the page. In place of invitation letter/support, replace it with your offer letter from your school.
