A business visitor is one who does not directly get into the labour market of Canada; rather, he is an alien national who visits Canada to undertake activities which are related to international business.
You may qualify as a business visitor if you plan to visit Canada temporarily to seek out new business opportunities in Canada, to invest or to expand on existing business agreements.
You should note that if you are from a country that requires a visa to visit Canada, you must apply for a temporary resident visa just like any other temporary visitor to Canada. There is no separate application for business visitors. The temporary resident visa covers all visitors, including those in Canada on business.

This is just one way you can be a step ahead of the officer. Anticipating the officer’s needs usually comes with experience and knowledge on what to expect, another excellent reason why having a legal representative on your team can make all the difference.
Business Visitor applications usually occur at a port of entry. For countries that are not visa-exempt, you will first need to obtain a temporary resident visa to come to Canada. Upon your arrival, you will speak to an immigration official to apply as a business visitor. This is why having the correct documents can save you a lot of headaches when attempting to enter Canada as a business visitor. Many of our clients have faced disappointment and embarrassment at the port of entry and had to return home without being able to enter Canada as they were unable to satisfy an officer that they meet the requirements. This is why having experienced representatives do it right from the beginning will safe you time and headaches.
