Canada Visitor Visa (TRV)
Temporary Resident Visa for tourism, family visits, or business meetings. Biometrics required for most applicants.
About this visa
The Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is Canada's standard visitor route for visa-required nationals, including Georgian citizens. It covers tourism, visiting friends or family, and short business activities such as meetings, conferences, and negotiations.
Canada is document-driven: your file is evaluated based on purpose, finances, and ties to your home country. Applications are submitted entirely online through the IRCC portal. A strong application is simple and coherent — clear dates, realistic budget, and documents that support each other.
Key factors officers assess:
- Why you're travelling to Canada and what your specific purpose is
- Who is funding the trip and whether the budget is realistic
- Why you'll return to Georgia (employment, family, property, ongoing obligations)
Biometrics: Georgian citizens generally need to provide biometrics. Biometrics are submitted at a Canada Visa Application Centre (VAC) or the nearest country with a VAC. The biometrics fee is included in the overall costs.
How GetVisa.ge helps: We prepare the correct structure (purpose → finances → ties), draft a clear letter of explanation, and ensure all uploaded files are fully consistent. If you have weak points (limited travel history, complex financial situation), we arrange documents so the officer clearly understands your real situation.
Comparison with other countries: Compared to the USA B1/B2 visa, where the interview is decisive, Canada places particular emphasis on document consistency and portal completeness. Compared to the UK Standard Visitor visa, Canada's process is more straightforward — no overly long explanations needed, just let your documents speak for you.
