00:48This video explains why Canada is reforming its Visitor Visa TRV system, introduces the new TRV categories and what each one allows or restricts, outlines the key eligibility criteria,
01:18and required documents and reveals who may no longer be welcome under the updated rules, so be sure to watch till the end to avoid costly mistakes and ensure your visit to Canada isn't denied.
01:39Let's begin with why Canada is reforming Visitor Visas.
01:44In a bid to prevent unauthorized work and backdoor immigration, the Canadian government is tightening entry permissions.
01:53TRVs will now only be approved for clearly defined short-term purposes.
01:58Anything outside tourism, business or visiting family is off the table.
02:05Next, we explore new TRV categories, what's allowed and what's not.
02:09Only three visa categories remain. Tourism and travel which cover sightseeing, leisure activities and non-credit courses, business visits intended for meetings, negotiations and training but not for any paid work, and family visits which are limited to personal reunions and do not permit caregiving duties or extended stays.
02:30Each category has strict activity limits with detailed documentation required to prove intent, TRV.
02:39Moving on to key eligibility criteria and documents.
02:45Applicants must prove ties to their home country, provide a clear visit purpose and show sufficient financial support.
02:54Biometric submission and accurate applications are now more critical than ever.
03:03Then, we look at who's no longer welcome under TRV.
03:08There are now stricter rules in place. Long-term caregiving is no longer allowed and entry will be denied to hidden job seekers.
03:19Students are also prohibited from misusing temporary resident visas, TRVs, as a way to bypass the proper study permit process.
03:28Additionally, any false statements made during the visa application process could result in bans and deportation.
03:35Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.
03:43This isn't just policy tightening. It's a major shift in Canada's immigration philosophy.
03:50If you're planning to visit Canada after May 2025, make sure your purpose aligns exactly with the allowed TRV categories.
03:58One misstep could close Canada's doors. For good.
04:06That's a wrap for now.
