How to visit Canada as a Business Visitor

A business visitor is a foreign national who comes to Canada to participate in international business activities. Although a work permit is not required, business visitors from countries requiring a Temporary Resident Visa to enter Canada must receive a visa before traveling to Canada.

 

Business visitors must:

•             intend to stay in Canada for a short period, typically less than six months;

•             not intend to enter the Canadian labor market in any way;

•             Their main place of business and source of income must be located outside of Canada;

•             Any profits from their business must be made outside of Canada;

•             They must meet standard Canadian entry requirements.

 

There are a number of reasons why an individual may come to Canada as a business visitor, including:

•             Attending business meetings, conferences, etc.

•             Buying goods/services on behalf of a foreign organization;

•             Providing after-sales service;

•             Being trained by a Canadian parent company for work outside of Canada;

•             Training employees of a Canadian subsidiary of a foreign company.

 

Individuals who plan to enter the Canadian labor market may require a Temporary Work Permit.
