Corporate - Business Visitor Visa

For many companies, bringing clients, partners, or staff to Canada for short-term business engagements is a key part of growing, investing, or collaborating. Whether you need to host overseas executives, send staff for meetings, or invite foreign partners, proper planning is essential. Short-term entries may require visitor visas, eTAs, or business-visitor status — each of which has distinct requirements under Canadian immigration regulations.

Our corporate immigration team supports businesses in navigating these rules carefully so that visits are smooth, compliant, and achieve their intended business objectives.

When a Business Visit Requires a Visa or eTA

Foreign nationals coming to Canada on business — for meetings, conferences, site visits, negotiations, training, or other short-term work-like activities — may need a visitor visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA). The specific requirement depends on their country of citizenship, how they travel (air vs. land vs. sea), past immigration history, and the nature of the planned activities.

We assist in determining which authorization is required, assessing potential inadmissibility risks, and preparing documentation accordingly. Our goal is to make sure each traveller presents a clear, credible application that reflects the business purpose, duration, and compliance with Canadian rules.
