Visit Canada

Business Visitors

Business visitors and business people are not the same. Business people come to do work in Canada under a free trade agreement.
A business visitor is someone who comes to Canada for international business activities but does not enter the Canadian labour market. Some activities of a business visitor in Canada can be to meet people from companies doing business with their country, for site visits, or when a Canadian company invites them for specific training. In this case, they don’t need a work permit to come to Canada.

Business visitors must prove that their main source of income and main place of business is outside Canada.

But you are not considered a business visitor if you’re doing work for a Canadian company, you may need to get a work permit.

eTA

When travelling to Canada by air, you might need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if you are a visa-exempt foreign national.

​It only costs $7 CAD and is should be a simple application unless you have a specific situation such as inadmissibility, deportation, or denials in Canada or other countries.

Do not use unauthorized third-party companies that offer you this service. If you are getting a tourist package with a Travel Agency, we still recommend you to file your own application, so that you have complete control of your application.

If you need or require assistance in this matter, we are happy to help you.
