Business Visa (Temporary) Residence)
Overview: Looking to explore Canada while growing your business? A Temporary Business Visa lets you attend meetings, negotiate deals, or explore partnerships—without needing a full work permit. It’s a short-term gateway to connect, collaborate, and expand your reach in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.
This type of visit visa is for those who go to Canada for international business activities without directly entering the Canadian labour market. Business visitors are able to stay for up to 6 months, but most are granted shorter periods. Business visitor visas do not require a work permit (unless they intend to stay for more than 6 months)
