Are you thinking about visiting the beautiful country of Canada? If you’re a Mexican national, you might have heard about some recent changes to visitor visa requirements. But don’t worry; we’re here to help you navigate through the essentials!

How long can you stay in Canada?
As a visitor, you can usually stay in Canada for up to six months from your arrival date, or until your passport expires—whichever comes first! Make sure to check your passport for a stamp marking your departure date!

Single vs. Multiple-entry Visas
Thinking about how often you want to visit? A single-entry visa lets you enter Canada just once, while a multiple-entry visa allows you to come and go as you please, as long as it’s still valid. Remember, multiple-entry visas can be valid for up to ten years or until your passport expires!

Application Process for Families
Traveling with family? Each family member will need their own visa application, even if you submit them all together. Don’t forget to get those forms signed!

Inviting Loved Ones
Want to help someone visit Canada? You can write a letter of invitation! Just remember, it can support their application but doesn’t guarantee approval.

Need a Medical Exam?
Most visitors staying for six months or less won’t need a medical exam, but if your job requires it, or if you're staying longer, check if you fall under the health protection requirements.

Extending Your Stay
If you want to stay longer, you can apply for a visitor record to extend your stay! Just follow the steps outlined on the IRCC website.

With these tips, you’ll be on your way to enjoying all that Canada has to offer. Safe travels!
