A visiting visa (sometimes known as a temporary resident visa) is a piece of paper that is placed in the passport. It demonstrates that you meet the entry requirements for Canada.
The majority of visitors visiting Canada require a visitor visa. If you're passing through a Canadian airport on your way to your final destination, you could require one.
It is officially referred to as a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
Types of visitor visa
In Canada, there are two types of visitor visas:
Single-entry visa: These are issued for a term of up to six months.
Multiple-entry visa: Multiple-entry visitor visas are valid for up to ten years or one month before the passport or re-entry visa expires (whichever date comes first).

How long will you be able to stay?
Most travellers can stay in Canada for up to six months.
The border services officer at the point of entry may authorize you to stay for less than or more than 6 months. If that's the case, they'll stamp your passport with the date you need to leave by. They may also provide you with a guest record, which will detail the date by which you must depart.
If your passport does not have a stamp, you can stay in Canada for up to 6 months from the date you entered or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. You can get a stamp from a border services officer if you need one. If you arrive at an airport that employs primary inspection kiosks, inquire after you have completed the kiosk.
