Thousands of short-term business visitors come to Canada each year. With an international market-oriented economy and as a member of many organizations, Canada is a great place to do business, gain valuable experience and success. A business visitor is someone who comes to Canada to engage an international business activity without directly entering the Canadian labour market. For instance, a business visitor may come to Canada temporarily to look for ways to grow his or her business, observe site visits, invest or develop business relationships. Alternatively, a Canadian company may invite foreign national for training in product use, sales or other functions related to a business transactions.

Business visitors may need to apply for an eTA or a visa to enter Canada. If a person is not from a visa-exempt country, he/she will need to apply for a visitor visa and provide certain documents, such as:

  • A letter of invitation from you potential business partner in Canada; and
  • 24-hour contact details for that person

  • Does not plan to enter the Canadian labour market
  • His/her main place of business, and source of income and profits, is outside Canada
  • Has all the supporting documents
  • Meets Canada’s basic entry requirements:
    • Has a valid travel document
    • Has enough money for his/her stay and to return home
    • Plans to leave Canada at the end of his/her visit and
    • Is not a criminal, security or health risk to Canadians

There are a number of reasons why an individual may come to Canada as a business visitor. Cross-border business can include:

  • Buying Canadian goods or services for a foreign business or government,
