Business Visas For Visitors

Foreign nationals across the globe who wish to enter and live in Canada require a Visitor visa except for the ones from visa-exempt countries. Therefore, even if a person intends to visit Canada for business or is a business visitor, he/she needs to apply for a Temporary Resident visa (TRV) or a visitor visa to enter and stay in Canada. So, it can be called a Business Visitor visa.

Business involves travel in most cases and the travel frequencies may keep varying based on the facts and circumstances of one’s business. This is the scenario when this Business Visitor visa comes into the picture. A Business visitor, in this case, is a person who visits Canada for International business but at the same time cannot enter the Canadian labor market.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BUSINESS VISITOR VISA AND THE CANADIAN WORK PERMIT AND eTA

Business Visitor visa does not give you access to the Canadian labor market. On the Business Visitor visa, one can stay for short-term business conferences, training, site visits, meetings and conventions, trade fairs, and for rendering after-sales services for warranty and business activities. So, a Business Visitor visa is entirely different from a Canadian work permit at the first instance.

On the other hand, one will need a Canadian work permit if your company transfers you to Canada or if a Canadian company offers you an employment opportunity. You can also visit Canada in search of employment as a visitor. However, a work permit plays a pivotal role in your employment, as only a work permit will allow a person on a visitor visa to work legally in Canada. Note that only securing a job from a Canadian employer while on a visitor visa is insufficient to stay in Canada. This step should be backed by submitting an immediate application to secure a Canadian work permit before commencing work. At the same time, the Canadian Visa office from the country of your residence/citizenship must have processed your application. Acquiring a work permit may seem daunting for some. Therefore, the most straightforward way is by applying for a Business Visitor visa or eTA (for foreign nationals from visa-exempt countries).

eTA is an electronic travel authorization for all air travelers from visa-exempt countries traveling to and transitioning through Canada. One can apply for an eTA through the Canadian Federal Government website. All you need to apply is a valid passport, a credit card to pay fees, and a valid email address. U.S. residents require I-571(U.S. refugee travel document) and I-321 (Permit to re-enter the U.S.).

HOW TO APPLY FOR A BUSINESS VISITOR VISA?

The Canadian government has not specified any special visa for business visitors to Canada. Therefore, business visitors to Canada are left with no choice but to apply through common normal procedures specified for the temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Visitor Visa wherein it is crucial for the business visitors to mention that they are in Canada solely for engaging in international business activities. Kindly bear in mind that, at the port of entry, the border services officers will ensure that the business activities of the business visitors are authentic using the proofs demonstrated by the business visitors. Many business visitors may be from visa-exempt countries and may require eTA (electronic travel authorization) if they travel by air to Canada.

WHAT IS NAFTA AND WHO ARE ASSOCIATED WITH NAFTA?

Canada has an exceptional service sector and, therefore, boasts of being an industrial economy too. The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, facilitates corporations to engage in business easily between Canada, Mexico, and the United States, thus erasing many trade barriers. NAFTA also specifies that the citizens or Business visitors from these countries engaging in temporary business activities or investments should be provided a quick entry into each other’s territory. So, this NAFTA BUSINESS VISITORS is another category of Business Visa.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Can a Canada Business Visa be converted to a Work Permit?

It is not possible to directly convert a business visitor visa to a work permit while you are inside Canada. Business visitor visas are meant for individuals who are visiting Canada for business-related activities that do not involve entering the Canadian labor market.

  • How long can I stay on a Business Visitor Visa?

If you plan to stay for more than 6 months or work in Canada, you may be considered a temporary worker and must apply for a work permit.

Had a nice experience with the CanOz team. Applied for PR with them. My case was different as I lost my passport while the application was in process. Had to explain to IRCC and request for PNP point transfer and all. The team did the necessary things to make sure my application would not get rejected. Harsimrat ma’m really understood my situation and were supportive throughout the process. Thank you team!

We were well informed about the paper work that would be needed and other documentation formalities that were supposed to get fulfilled. There were absolutely no surprises and we steadily moved from one step to the next. Infact most of our questions and apprehensions were fairly preempted and there was no scope of any ambiguity! Delightful and totally relaxed was our experience! Thank you again!

Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!

My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh’s recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
