Entering Canada With a Temporary Resident Visa

When you arrive in Canada a Canada Border Services Agency officer will ask to see your passport and travel documents and ask you questions. Even if you have a temporary resident visa, you must satisfy the officer that you are eligible to enter Canada and will leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay. A change of circumstances between your application for a temporary resident visa and your arrival in Canada or additional information available could still result in you being refused entry to Canada. The border officer will decide if may enter Canada and how long you may stay. The officer will stamp your passport or let you know how long you may stay in Canada.
