Canada has no separate business visa class. International business visitors attending meetings, conferences or trade events normally travel as temporary residents using either a Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa, TRV) or, for visa-exempt nationalities, an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Business visitors must remain employed and paid mainly outside Canada and must not enter the Canadian labour market. A letter of invitation can support the application.
Processing: Varies by nationality and application volume. Visitor Visa (TRV) applications can be submitted online and should be filed well before travel; eTA applications for visa-exempt travellers are usually processed much faster.
Apply online through the IRCC portal, where you upload scanned documents and pay by credit card. Confirm whether you need a TRV or an eTA before booking and carry supporting documents, including an invitation letter if the organiser provides one.
