    Understanding Canada Visas

    Canada is one of the world’s most developed, stable, and safe countries, attracting millions of travelers, students, and professionals every year. This is why demand for Canadian visas is particularly high among Georgian citizens who plan to visit Canada for tourism (with a Temporary Resident Visa), education, work, or long-term residency. Canada offers visitors an exceptionally well-organized environment with a high standard of living, and the visa application process is just as structured as the country’s reputation. Therefore, a well-prepared application and accurate documentation play a crucial role.

    The Canadian visa process depends on the purpose of the visit and the visa type. For tourism or short-term travel to Canada, a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is required. Those planning to study must apply for a Canadian Study Permit, which is intended for college or university education. Due to Canada’s strong economy and diverse job market, demand for Canadian work visas is also quite high, as they are necessary for starting employment with a Canadian employer or pursuing temporary career development in the country. Among short-term categories is the Temporary Resident Permit, which allows individuals to enter Canada for specific, time-limited purposes. For families, one of the most in-demand categories is the Super Visa, which allows parents and grandparents to make multiple extended visits. And for those with long-term plans to live in Canada, pathways to Permanent Residency become a priority.

    Although the Canadian visa procedure is clear, it is also notably strict. It differs significantly from countries where applications are processed more quickly. For example, in the case of Australia or Japan, visa applications are mostly completed online, whereas Canada requires not only an online application but also a more extensive set of documents and financial proof. The Canadian approach also differs from the UK visa process: while the UK emphasizes clearly structured biometric steps, Canada places even greater importance on documentation and conducts more detailed checks.

    One of the most important requirements for obtaining a Canadian visa is demonstrating that you intend to return to Georgia. Canada’s immigration system places major emphasis on financial stability, clarity of travel purpose, and properly prepared supporting documents. In the case of study permits, an official letter of acceptance from the educational institution is mandatory, while for work permits—similar to Australia’s process—an employer’s letter or other supporting documentation is required.

    Our team of experts is ready to assist you at every stage of the process. We help you choose the correct visa type based on your purpose of travel, prepare the necessary documents, complete application forms, avoid common mistakes, and maximize your chances of approval. Our support is especially valuable for applicants planning to study in Australia, travel for temporary or permanent work, visit family members, or settle long-term in Canada.

    Tips for Getting Canada Visa

    Tips for a successful application

    Do's

    Apply at least 2-3 months before travel: Processing times vary (3-12 weeks depending on visa type), and applying early ensures buffer time for any additional requests or delays.
    Provide comprehensive financial documentation: Show 4-6 months of bank statements with consistent balance, regular income, and sufficient funds (CAD $1,000+ per month for visitors).
    Demonstrate strong ties to Georgia: Employment contracts, property deeds, business ownership, family commitments, or ongoing education prove clear intent to return after your Canadian visit.
    Write a detailed purpose of visit letter: Clearly explain your travel plans, itinerary, who you'll meet, where you'll stay, and why you'll return to Georgia. Specific details strengthen credibility.
    Ensure document quality and translations: All non-English/French documents must have certified translations. Scans should be clear, complete, and in PDF format.

    Don'ts

    Don't submit incomplete applications: Missing documents, unsigned forms, or unclear purpose trigger automatic refusals. Double-check the IRCC document checklist before submission.
    Don't provide inconsistent information: Discrepancies between your application form, supporting documents, and purpose letter raise red flags and lead to rejection.
    Don't misrepresent your situation: Canadian visa officers use sophisticated verification systems. Any false information results in immediate refusal and 5-year ban from Canada.
    Don't ignore biometric appointment deadlines: You must complete biometrics within 30 days of your request letter. Missing this deadline results in application closure.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Canada Visa

    Do Georgian citizens need a visa to visit Canada?

    Yes. All Georgian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Canada, regardless of the purpose or duration of stay. Georgia is not on Canada's visa-exempt list, so even short visits require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).

    Is there a Canadian embassy in Tbilisi?

    No. There is no Canadian embassy or consulate in Tbilisi. Georgian applications are processed through the Embassy of Canada in Ankara, Turkey. However, biometrics are collected at the Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Tbilisi, and Getvisa coordinates the entire process for you.

    How long does Canada visa processing take?

    Processing times vary by visa type: Temporary Resident Visa (TRV): 3-4 weeks online, Study Permit: 4-6 weeks, Work Permit: 8-12 weeks, Super Visa: 3-4 months, Permanent Residence: 6-12 months. Apply well in advance to account for processing and potential delays.

    What are the visa fees for Georgian citizens?

    TRV: CAD $100 (~$75 USD), Study Permit: CAD $150 (~$112 USD), Work Permit: CAD $155 (~$116 USD), Super Visa: CAD $100 (~$75 USD), PR application: CAD $1,365+ (~$1,020 USD). Biometric fees of CAD $85 per person apply to most visa types.

    Where do I give biometrics in Georgia?

    Biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) are collected at the Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Tbilisi. You must book an appointment after receiving your biometric instruction letter from IRCC. Getvisa assists with appointment scheduling and preparation.

    Can I work on a visitor visa in Canada?

    No. The Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) prohibits any employment in Canada. You can attend business meetings or conferences, but cannot accept employment. For work, you must apply for a Work Permit with employer sponsorship and LMIA (or LMIA exemption).

    How much money do I need to show for Canada visa?

    For TRV: demonstrate CAD $1,000+ per month of stay. For Study Permit: full tuition + CAD $10,000/year living expenses (CAD $11,000 in Quebec). Show 4-6 months of bank statements with consistent balance and regular income. More funds improve credibility.

    Do I need medical insurance for Canada visa?

    Travel insurance is highly recommended for TRV holders due to high healthcare costs in Canada. For Super Visa, medical insurance of minimum CAD $100,000 valid for at least one year is mandatory and must be purchased from Canadian insurance providers.

    What is Express Entry and can Georgians apply?

    Express Entry is Canada's fast-track permanent residence system for skilled workers. Georgian citizens can apply if they meet criteria for Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, or Federal Skilled Trades programs. You need high CRS scores (typically 470-500+), language test results (IELTS/CELPIP/TEF), and Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for foreign degrees. Getvisa assesses your eligibility and optimizes your profile.

    What increases my chances of Canada visa approval?

    Key factors: (1) Complete, accurate application through IRCC portal, (2) Strong financial evidence (4-6 months statements showing CAD $1,000+/month), (3) Clear ties to Georgia (employment, property, family), (4) Detailed purpose of visit letter with specific itinerary, (5) Clean immigration history, (6) All documents properly translated and certified. Getvisa ensures your application meets all IRCC requirements.
