Canada Tourist Visa (Visitor Visa / TRV) Guidance
Preparation support for Bangladeshi applicants applying for a Canada Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for tourism, family visits, or short business travel.
Overview
What the Temporary Resident Visa covers
Bangladeshi citizens generally require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly called a visitor visa, to enter Canada for tourism, family visits or business meetings. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) assesses each application on ties to the home country, financial capacity and the credibility of the stated travel purpose.
Canada's visitor visa process is document-intensive and highly individual — there is no fixed formula, which is why a well-organised, consistent application matters more than any single document.

IRCC processing times fluctuate, so we recommend applying as early as practical once your travel dates are reasonably firm, rather than close to your departure.
Canada's Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is a distinct category with its own income sponsorship and medical insurance requirements. We can discuss whether this fits your family's situation.
It isn't always mandatory, but a well-prepared invitation letter from a genuine host strengthens a family-visit application when available.
