About the Canada visa
Canada's Express Entry drives skilled migration via a points-based pool, alongside popular study permits and multiple-entry visitor visas.
Canada issues a sticker visa: the application is filed online or on paper, you attend a short biometrics appointment at a visa application centre, and your passport is held until the visa is printed and returned. vistolane handles the filing and passport custody so the process is done from home.
Fees. The Canada government fee is $71 and the vistolane filing fee is $184, an all-in price of $255 per traveller with no surcharge at the consulate. The published processing time is Visitor visa: varies by country of residence. vistolane commits to a decision date before you pay and shows the 42-day window on the price card above.
Validity and stay. A Canada eta / sticker is valid for Up to 10 years and allows a stay of up to 6 months per visit on a multiple-entry basis. Routes covered on this page: Express Entry, Study Permit, Visitor Visa, Work Permit.
