What Is A Temporary Resident Visa Canada
A temporary resident visa (TRV) is one of the most popular visas to Canada. Unlike an immigration program, a visitor visa might seem an easy endeavour. In truth, getting a TRV is a challenge, as the Canadian government expects you to provide rock-solid evidence that you do not intend to become an illegal immigrant and will return to your home country once your visa expires.
We have seen many cases where people were denied TRVs for not treating the matter seriously. So if you decide to make your case by yourself, do your homework first and research the applicable guides and real cases.
