What Is the Canada Visit Visa?
This visa, officially a temporary resident visa, lets you travel to Canada for tourism, family visits or short business trips. Sri Lankan passport holders need a visitor visa, not an eTA.
Visitors can usually stay for up to 6 months per visit, but the border officer decides your length of stay when you arrive. You cannot work on a visitor visa.

Check my eligibilityWhy Use the Best Canada Visa Consultants in Sri Lanka?
There is no interview for most visitor visas. The officer decides from your documents alone, so your file must tell the full story.
Ties to Sri Lanka
Officers must be satisfied you will leave Canada at the end of your visit. Employment, business, property and family ties need clear evidence.
Bank statement and funds
Your bank statement must show enough money for your trip, with a clear history. Large recent deposits often raise concerns.
Purpose of visit
A vague purpose or a stay that seems too long for your circumstances can lead to refusal. An invitation letter and itinerary help.
Previous refusals
A new application must directly address the reasons in your refusal letter with stronger evidence.
