Visit Canada

Visitor visa

Tourism, family, business and the super visa

Temporary resident visas for tourism, a family visit or a business trip, and the super visa for parents and grandparents.

The temporary resident visa is often treated as a formality. That is a mistake: refusal rates for Tunisian applications remain high, almost always for the same reason — the officer is not satisfied the visitor will leave. A visit file is won on demonstrating your ties to Tunisia and the coherence of the trip.

Frequent questions about this program

In the vast majority of cases, because the officer concluded you would not leave when the visa expires. They weigh your ties to Tunisia — stable employment, dependants, property, obligations — against the pull of Canada. A file that is thin on this point is refused even where you clearly have the money for the trip.
