Types of Visas to CANADA
Canada offers several types of visas, primarily categorized as temporary resident visas (including visitor visas, study permits, and work permits) and permanent resident visas. Additionally, there are programs like Express Entry for skilled workers and the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. Visitor visas can be single-entry or multiple-entry.
