Important Notes

Algerian citizens require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada. The processing time can vary significantly and is often several weeks or months. It is highly recommended to apply well in advance of your planned travel date. The visa validity and authorized stay duration are determined by the immigration officer upon arrival, but typically a visitor visa can be valid for up to 10 years or one month before your passport expires, and allows stays of up to 6 months per entry. The cost listed is for the visa application fee; biometrics fee is additional. All documents must be in English or French, or accompanied by a certified translation.
