What is a business visitor?

Most people would not think that coming to Canada for business could qualify them for a 10-year Canadian visa. But, in fact, in Canadian terminology, a tourist is considered a visitor; therefore, a business visitor would also fall under the same category of visas and can qualify for the 10-year Canadian visa.

What is considered a business visitor?

A business visitor is someone who is coming to Canada temporarily to take part in international business activities.

A business visitor will not enter the Canadian labour market. Instead, they will come to Canada to expand their business relationships, invest or look for ways to grow their business with Canadian partners.
