Visiting Canada: Business visitors

Every year, thousands of international business people come to Canada to do business with Canadian companies. There are requirements you must meet to be allowed into Canada. This information will help you avoid problems that can affect your business plans.


Business visitors: Who can apply

You may qualify as a business visitor if you are a foreign national who plans to visit Canada temporarily to look for new business opportunities, to invest or to advance existing business relationships.
If you are from a country that requires a visa to visit Canada, you must apply for a temporary resident visa just like any other temporary visitor to Canada. There is no separate application for business visitors. The temporary resident visa covers all visitors, including those in Canada on business. See Do you need a visa? to find out if you must apply for one.
Business visitors usually stay in Canada for a few days or a few weeks. To be considered a business visitor you must show that:

• you intend to stay for less than six months and do not plan to enter the Canadian labour market
• your main place of business and source of income is located outside Canada
• profits from your business will accrue outside Canada
• you can provide documents that support your application and
• you meet Canada’s basic entry requirements. You:
  
  • have a valid travel document, such as a passport
  • have enough money for your stay and to return home
  • plan to leave Canada at the end of your visit and
  • do not pose criminal, security or health risks to Canadians.
  
  

Cross-border business can include activities like:

• buying Canadian goods or services for a foreign business or government
• taking orders for goods or services
• attending meetings, conferences, conventions or trade fairs
• providing after-sales service (mainly supervision, not hands-on labour)
• being trained by a Canadian parent company you work for outside Canada
• training employees of a Canadian subsidiary of a foreign company or
• being trained by a Canadian company that has sold you equipment or services.

Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, a U.S. or Mexican national may also take part in other activities, such as research, marketing and general service. For detailed information, see the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada website in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
If you plan to stay longer than six months or intend to work in Canada, you may be considered a temporary worker and have to apply for a work permit. See Working temporarily in Canada in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
If you need a temporary resident visa, as a business visitor, you must submit certain documents when applying:

• a letter of invitation from your potential business partner in Canada and
• 24-hour contact details for that person.

You may also need identification cards or proof of employment. For more information, see Canadian visa offices under the Related Links section at the bottom of this page to find the visa office responsible for the country or region where you live.
See Visiting Canada: How to apply in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page to find out how to apply as a visitor.


Business visitors: Arriving

When you arrive in Canada, you will be greeted by an officer of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The CBSA is responsible for protecting the borders and points of entry to Canada. The CBSA officer will ask you the purpose of your visit and confirm that you meet the requirements for admission to Canada. This is standard for anyone entering Canada, whether you have a temporary resident visa or not.
You should have all relevant documents on hand to present to the officer when you arrive. These documents include, but are not limited to:

• a valid passport or travel document that will be valid until the end of your stay
• if applicable, a temporary resident visa
• letters of support from your parent company and a letter of invitation from the Canadian host business
• a copy of any contracts or bills to support your visit
• 24-hour contact details of your business host in Canada and
• proof that you have enough money for both your stay in Canada and your return home.

You will not be allowed into Canada if you give false or incomplete information, or if you do not satisfy the officer that you are eligible for entry into Canada. You will also have to satisfy the officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay in Canada.

Business visitors: Information for Canadian businesses

You can avoid problems or delays when you bring your foreign business guests to Canada by following these guidelines:
Exercise due diligence

Before you enter any formal partnership, you should investigate your potential partner’s business track record, assets and liabilities, reputation and current legal status. This can protect your company’s interests and reputation. It will also help you decide if aspects of your potential partner’s background will pose problems when you bring the proposed partner to Canada for business.
Please see Trade Commissioner Service in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page for advice.
Know Canada’s entry requirements for business visitors

If your visitor is from a country that requires a visa to visit Canada, he or she must apply for a temporary resident visa just like any other temporary visitor to Canada.There is no separate application for business visitors. The temporary resident visa covers all visitors, including those in Canada on business. See Do you need a visa? to find out if your visitor must apply for one.
Present or past conditions in foreign countries, like war or political unrest, could affect whether your potential partner is admissible to Canada, and how long it takes to process a visa. You can see potential wait periods for visas under Application processing times in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
You can find out more about Canada’s requirements for business visitors under Business visitors: Who can apply in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. To find out if your visitor will need a temporary resident visa, please see Do I need a visa? in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
Have partners apply early and submit completed applications

Most properly completed applications are processed within 24 to 48 hours of when the visa office receives them, with some exceptions for special circumstances. Delays and refusals will result if applications are not complete or if the required documents are missing or suspect.
If your business partner or contact is likely to visit Canada a number of times, they may want a multiple entry visa. This means they will not have to request a visa every time they want to enter Canada.
Visitors from countries may not be eligible for multi-entry visas. You or your business partner should check with the visa office responsible for your region to find out if you are eligible.
Your company’s responsibilities

Give your potential partner a well-documented and factual letter of invitation. See Letter of invitation in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page for guidelines on writing this letter.
Canadian trade commissioners liaise with visa officers about business visits to Canada. Contact the Trade Commissioner Service for the country of your potential partner. See Trade Commissioner Service in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
Provide your business partner with your 24-hour contact details.
What to do if a visa is refused

If your potential partner’s business visa is refused, please see How do I get help if my application is refused? in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
If there is new or additional information that should be considered, your partner can re-apply and submit this new information. There is no minimum wait to apply again.
What to do if your visitor is refused entry to Canada at the border or port of entry

Depending on what visitors say at the border and the documents they have with them, an officer may decide that more information is needed. If this happens, the visitor may be sent to “Secondary Processing” where he or she will be seen by an immigration officer.
Even if a visa is issued abroad, an officer at the port of entry could find that the visitor needs a work permit. This could happen if the officer finds the visitor’s circumstances have changed since the visa was issued, or new information is found during the interview.
If there is a business relationship in place, your letter of invitation can explain the reasons for a visit and help prevent this from happening. Also, when the Canadian business provides 24-hour contact numbers, they can answer questions about the visit.
If, for example, the visitor is coming to service a piece of equipment as set out in a contract, he or she should bring a copy of the contract or bill that states that this work is covered.
