Türkiye to Canada visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders need a Canadian visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa, TRV) for tourism or transit. Türkiye is visa-required and is not on Canada's eTA or conditional eTA list. Government fees are CAD 100 plus CAD 85 biometrics, and IRCC currently lists about 53 days for visitor visa processing from Türkiye. Canada classifies Türkiye as visa-required for ordinary passport holders. Turkish visitors and transit passengers need a Temporary Resident Visa (visitor visa / TRV) before travelling to Canada by air, land or sea; Türkiye is not on the eTA-required country list and is not on Canada's conditional eTA list for some visa-required countries. The application is filed online with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), costs CAD 100 plus a CAD 85 biometrics fee, and usually requires biometrics at a Visa Application Centre after the biometric instruction letter. A visa officer decides whether to issue a single- or multiple-entry visa and how long it is valid; generally a visitor visa may be valid up to 10 years or until passport or biometrics expiry, whichever comes first. Most visitors may stay up to 6 months per entry unless the border services officer sets a different date. IRCC's current visitor visa processing data for Türkiye is 53 days, updated June 17, 2026.
