What are my chances of getting a visa?
For a specific applicant, it is difficult to determine the chances of obtaining a visa. However, this clearly depends on your social and economic ties in your home country. The more convincingly you can show the consular officer that you are well-established, have a stable income, and prospects for further development, the higher the probability of approval. With TourVisa’s visa center services, your profile can be presented as clearly as possible, which significantly increases the chances.
Processing time and decision
The decision is made at the Canadian consulate in Ankara. Processing times vary from 3 months to 1 year.
How long is the visa valid?
A Canadian tourist visa is a multiple-entry visa issued for up to 10 years. However, it is important that each stay does not exceed 180 days per entry.
What documents do I need to travel to Canada?

Does TourVisa guarantee visa approval?
The decision to issue a Canadian visa depends solely on the consular officer, and no third party can interfere in this process. However, TourVisa’s experienced visa center specialists will do their best to prepare your documents correctly for the consulate so that your current situation and capabilities are fully presented, which significantly increases the likelihood of approval.
