The Canada Visitor Visa is a popular choice for applicants wishing to visit Canada for a temporary period of up to 6 months.

Approximately 85 percent of the population is concentrated within 300 km of the US and Canada border. The second largest country in the world after Russia, Canada is a vast land, over half of which is mountain and forest.

Spanning over 7000 kilometres from Vancouver to Newfoundland, Canada offers unique experiences and travel opportunities within each region.

Whether you are visiting from the other side of the world or simply looking to see more of your own country, Canada is a travellers paradise.

From whale watching in Victoria, to skiing the slopes of Whistler, to day hiking in Banff, to canoeing the Red River, to shopping on Yonge St downtown Toronto, to antiquing in Quebec City, to lobster fishing in Halifax, to dog sledding in Tuktoyaktuk Canada has a great adventure around every corner.

As an affluent, high tech industrial society, Canada today closely resembles the US in its market oriented economic system, pattern of production, and high living standards. Since World War II, the impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban.

Unemployment is falling and government budget surpluses are being partially devoted to reducing the large public sector debt. The 1989 US Canada Free Trade Agreement and 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement have touched off a dramatic increase in trade and economic integration with the US.

With its great natural resources, skilled labour force, and modern capital plant Canada enjoys solid economic prospects.

In the frozen north, where the climate varies from sub arctic to arctic, Canada has some of the last true wilderness areas in the world. Traditionally the domain of trappers and prospectors, the more accessible parts are now a haven for winter sports and outdoor enthusiasts. As well as excellent skiing, northern Canada can offer superb fishing, climbing and white water rafting along with a whole host of other activities too numerous to mention here.

In the south, where the climate is temperate, youll find 90 percent of the population and some of the most beautiful parklands and exciting cities in North America.

Each territory and province has its own individual character and any one of them could fill an entire lifetime of holiday itineraries. Whether you are conferencing or just touring, Canada is a vibrant and inspiring destination.
