What is the multiple entry visa vs the single-entry visa? Click below to read more...
The multiple entry visa allows the holder to enter Canada from any country as often as necessary during the visa’s period of validity. It is issued with long-term validity to facilitate entry to Canada for legitimate travellers. This is the standard type of TRV.
The multiple entry visa has a maximum validity date of up to 10 years or 1 month before the expiry date on the travel document.
The single-entry visa is considered when an applicant is participating in a one-time special event in Canada for a short duration. Since the standard is the multiple-entry visa, any single-entry visa issuance requires the officer to provide an explanation for it.
