You do not need a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada if you are from a visa-exempt country. An Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) will be required from visa-exempt travelers to board their flight to Canada.

Citizens from non-exempt countries must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa before entering Canada. If you plan to stay in Canada as a visitor for longer than 6 months, you will need a Visitor Permit to extend your stay.

Parent or a grandparent of a Canadian permanent resident or Canadian citizen may be eligible for a super visa valid for up to 10 years. The super visa allows the visitor to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time.
