Here, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive guide to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey to Canada.

Understanding Visa and Authorization Requirements

1. Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
   – Who Needs a TRV
   If your home country is not on the list of visa-exempt nations, you will need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada for business purposes.
   
   – Application Process
   Obtaining a TRV can be a detailed process, but we’re here to assist you. Our team at Segue Immigration and Tours Ltd. is well-equipped to help you prepare a complete and accurate application.
   
   – Visa Validity
   Ensure that your TRV is valid for the entire duration of your stay in Canada. This is crucial for a successful business visit.


2. Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
   – Eligibility for eTA
   If you are from a visa-exempt country and plan to fly into Canada, you must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before your departure.
   
   – eTA Application
   Applying for an eTA is relatively straightforward. However, it’s essential to ensure that you use the same passport for your eTA application as the one you will use for travel.


3. Work Permit for Business Visitors
   – When a Work Permit is Required
   In some cases, business visitors may require a Work Permit, depending on the nature of their activities in Canada. It’s vital to assess whether a Work Permit is necessary for your specific business visit.

Coordinating Your Business Visit

Event Code Assistance: If you’re attending a meeting, event, or conference in Canada, coordination with your event organizer is essential. If your event is registered with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), your organizer can provide you with an event code and instructions on applying for a visa. Entering this code on your visa application form identifies you as a participant of an IRCC-registered event.

Essential Documentation

Here’s a checklist of documents to ensure you have on hand when you arrive at the Canadian border:

Passport or Travel Document: Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Canada.

Visitor Visa (if applicable): If your country requires a visitor visa, make sure you have a valid one.

eTA (if applicable): Ensure you use the same passport for your eTA application as the one you will use for travel.

For U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents: If you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States, you’ll need a valid green card (or equivalent official proof of status in the U.S.) and a valid passport from your country of nationality (or an equivalent document).

Supporting Documentation: Ensure you have letters of support from your parent company, a letter of invitation from the Canadian host business, or a letter of recognition from the Canada Border Services Agency, depending on your business arrangement.

Additional Relevant Documents: Carry any other documents relevant to your visit, such as warranty or service agreements, contracts, or any other business-related documents.

24-Hour Contact Details: Have the 24-hour contact details of your business host in Canada to provide to Canadian immigration authorities.

Financial Proof: Ensure you can demonstrate that you have enough money to cover both your stay in Canada and your return journey.
