Canada Visa for the citizens of Cyprus
Types of Visas
Citizens of Cyprus can apply for a temporary resident visa, also known as a visitor visa, in order to enter Canada. This type of visa is valid for up to six months and allows the holder to stay in Canada for business or pleasure purposes. It does not allow the holder to work or study in Canada.
Alternatively, citizens of Cyprus can apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA). An eTA is an online document that allows travelers from certain countries, including Cyprus, to enter Canada without a visa. The eTA is valid for up to five years and allows the holder to stay in Canada for up to six months at a time. To apply for an eTA, visit eVisa Canada.
How to Apply
To apply for a temporary resident visa or an eTA, you must first complete an application form and submit it online or by mail. You will also need to provide supporting documents such as your passport, proof of financial support, and other documents depending on your purpose of travel.
