Overview
A Canadian visitor visa (TRV) is an online application judged heavily on your travel purpose, finances and ties to India. Explera builds a persuasive file — cover letter, invitation, finances — and completes the IRCC online submission and biometrics booking.
Multiple-entry is the default and visas are commonly issued for up to 10 years (or passport validity), making Canada a great option for families with relatives and for repeat business visitors.

Canada visa processing time, explained
Standard processing for a Canada visa is 4–8 weeks from the date of biometric submission.
Peak season (summer holidays, Diwali and Christmas) and busy embassies can extend timelines, so we recommend applying at least 3–4 weeks before travel.

Why Canada visas get refused — and how we prevent it
Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:
Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents
Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding
Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages
Weak travel history or an unconvincing purpose of visit for first-time applicants
Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings
Tips for a smooth Canada visa
- ✓Keep your passport valid at least 6 months beyond your Canada travel dates, with 2+ blank pages.
- ✓Maintain a healthy, steady bank balance for 3–6 months before you apply — sudden large deposits raise questions.
- ✓Apply early: start your Canada visa at least 3–4 weeks before departure to absorb any delay.
- ✓Bundle your visa with flights, hotels and insurance through Explera — a complete, consistent file approves faster.
