Apply with SVOYAGER AI in minutes
Canada uses two main paths: an eTA for visa-exempt foreign nationals flying in, and a Temporary Resident Visa for everyone else. Both require biometrics for most applicants. SVOYAGER AI tells you which path applies, builds the IRCC document file, and books the biometric appointment.
