Visa Solutions from Leading Visa Consultancy

A visa is a legal document that authorizes an individual to enter a foreign country. The visa is stamped or affixed to the foreign national's passport.

Visa Full Form

Visitors International Stay Admission is shortened to VISA. A visa is an invitation from the government of a country you intend to visit. It is generally a stamp on your passport, but it can also be used as an electronic record or a separate document.

A visa is a legal travel document that facilitates foreign nationals to enter a country, stay, or travel inside a particular country. Countries issue visas for specific purposes like study, work, tourism, or business.  

Types of Visa

Various visas are available, each for a specific purpose. A visa lets you legally live, work, travel, or study in the country. The common types of visas are listed below.  

Permanent residency visa

A Permanent Resident or PR Visa allows you to travel to a country, live for a specific period, and consequentially apply for citizenship. In some countries, being issued a PR visa is a pathway to citizenship.

Visit/Tourist Visa

Visit visas are for foreign nationals who want to enter a country for a short period for tourism, business activities, or transit.

Study Visa

Students who enroll in a recognized educational institution abroad are issued a student visa. Non-immigrant visas are granted to students. Students who want to pursue higher education overseas must apply for a student visa to live and study there legally.

Work Visa

A work visa facilitates an individual to travel to another country and work for a specific period. For work permit visas, each country has a distinct procedure and eligibility criteria. There are two types of work visas available. They are:

  • Temporary Work Visa: A temporary work visa allows a foreign national to work in a country for a short period of time, usually for a project-based or seasonal job. The applicant must have secured a job offer from a designated employer in that country. The temporary work visa is employer-specific, which means the applicant must be employed by the company mentioned initially in the visa documents.
  • Permanent Work Visa: A "permanent work visa" allows a foreign national to live and work in a country indefinitely, meaning they can work without needing to renew their visa periodically. It essentially grants them the right to reside and be employed in that country permanently. It is often referred to as a "green card" in the United States.

Business Visa

Foreign nationals who want to participate in business activities or meetings in a foreign country are issued a business visa by the country's government authorities. A business visa allows you to do the following activities:  

  • Participate in business meetings
  • Attend business events and conferences
  • Research for a new business opportunity

Investor visa

Investor visas are issued to motivate foreign nationals with credible businesses and intent to start new businesses to invest in a particular country. The investment can be in a new business venture or in purchasing an existing international organization.

Immigrant Investor Programs are aimed at foreign investors with adequate personal funds and administrative skills. Every country has its eligibility requirements for issuing investor visas. 

Dependent Visa

A dependent visa allows the primary candidate's spouse/partner and children to join them in the foreign country where they reside.  

Dependents of an eligible resident of a country, such as spouses, dependent children, or parents, can come to the country with a dependent visa.

The volume of documents and processes required to apply for a visa can become overwhelming for the candidate. Y-Axis, the leading overseas immigration consultant, helps you apply for a visa. We have 26 years of experience and expertise in guiding clients to achieve their dreams of immigration for work, study, or living.

Each country offers different kinds of visas for other purposes. A candidate can apply for a visa based on the purpose of their visit to that country. You can apply for a visa online in most countries. Before you start applying for the visa, check the eligibility requirements,  understand the visa application process, and arrange the required documents.

It is to be noted that each country has its own set of requirements for the different types of visas it offers.

This is where the guidance of a visa counselor or advisor is indispensable. They provide you with information about the different types of visas available and the requirements you need to fulfill. A visa counselor assists you in the application process to increase your chances of getting a successful visa.  

These are the steps you need to follow to apply for a visa. You must:

  • Choose a type of visa suitable for you
  • Duly fill out your visa application
  • Attend an appointment at the embassy or consulate of the country you want to go to

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Canada PR visa, and how can I apply?
A Canada PR allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study indefinitely in Canada, with access to healthcare and social benefits. It offers a pathway to Canadian citizenship, provided the specific requirements are met. Benefits include job flexibility, free education for children, and the ability to sponsor family members. To apply for a Canada PR, you must first create an Express Entry profile and provide information regarding education, work experience, language skills, etc., based on which the CRS score will be decided. IRCC conducts periodic draws to invite candidates with high CRS scores to apply for PR. This includes filling out application forms, uploading documents, and paying the required fees.
What is a Canada Super visa, and how is it different from a regular visitor visa?

The Canada Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or PR holders to stay for up to 5 years per visit without renewal. On the other hand, a Canadian Visitor Visa allows you to stay for a maximum of 6 months. The key differences are given in the table below:

Difference between Canada Super Visa and Canada Visitor Visa
Canada Super Visa Canada Visitor Visa
Issued for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or PR holders Issued for tourism, short-term business visits, and family visits
Allows stay for up to 5 years per visit Allows stay for up to 6 months
Allows multiple entries for a period of up to 10 years Allows multiple entries but for a limited period
You must provide proof of financial support from family in Canada You must demonstrate ties to your home country
Only available to parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or PR holders Available for anyone
What is a Canada Open Work permit, and who is eligible?
A Canada open work permit allows you to work for any Canadian employer without an employment contract. Eligible candidates include an international student who graduated from a Designated Learning Institute (DLI), a spouse or common partner of a foreign worker or international student, or a family member of a Canadian citizen or PR holder.
Can I bring my family to Canada on a dependent visa?
Yes, you can bring your family to Canada on a dependent visa. A dependent visa allows a Canadian citizen or PR holder to sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, or dependent children to become permanent residents. You may also become eligible to bring your family if you are a student or a temporary resident. Upon reaching Canada, spouses and common-law partners of international students may become eligible for an open work permit in Canada.
How can I improve my chances of getting a Canada PR through a PNP?
To improve your chances of obtaining Canada PR under a PNP program, you must choose a PNP matched with your skills, secure a job offer in an in-demand occupation, and meet other requirements such as education, work experience, and language proficiency that determine your CRS score. A PNP nomination will fetch 600 points in the points-based system, almost guaranteeing a Canada PR.
What are my rights and responsibilities as a Canadian permanent resident?
As a permanent resident, you can reside and work anywhere in Canada. You can access most public services, such as healthcare, transportation, etc., and eventually apply for citizenship. You must maintain residency requirements, pay taxes, and be law-abiding. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects a Canadian permanent resident.
How does the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) work in Express Entry?
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ranks Express Entry candidates based on age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and ties with Canada. The maximum awarded point is 1200, with PNP-based Express Entry candidates having an advantage due to 600 extra points for a PNP nomination.
What is an ideal CRS score for Canada permanent residency?
An ideal CRS score depends on the type of Express Entry program you have applied for and trends in recent draws. However, a score of 480 or higher is generally considered a good score since the past few draws confirm a score closer to 500, increasing the chance of receiving an invitation to apply for Canada PR. A score of 430-470 is considered suitable for Canadian Experience Class candidates. For applicants with a PNP, it secures 600 additional points, almost guaranteeing an ITA.
What are the benefits of a Canada permanent residency?

There are plenty of benefits for Canadian permanent residents, which include:

  • Freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada
  • Access to the public healthcare system, providing free medical care and prescription medicines
  • Children of PR holders receive free education up to Grade 12 and benefit from lower tuition fees for higher education
  • Access to social security programs like Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and retirement pension
  • Unrestricted work rights across Canada, allowing PR holders to explore the country’s booming job market
  • Additional benefits include access to settlement services such as language training, job assistance, and legal aid.
What are the study-abroad options in Canada?
Canadian students have many opportunities to engage in independent study, exchange programs, etc. The go-to destinations for studying abroad from Canada include the UK, Australia, the US, and Germany, with most students eyeing public universities offering free or low tuition. Y-Axis Canada provides comprehensive assistance to students seeking higher studies outside Canada, especially in countries like the US, the UK, and Australia.
What is the processing time for a Canada PR application?

The processing time for a Canada PR visa depends on various factors such as the PR program pathway, completeness of the application, required documentation, and backlogs at IRCC.

The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) will conduct a thorough background check to ensure the applicant meets all the eligibility requirements and is free of any criminal record.
What if my Canada PR application is rejected?

There are multiple ways to deal with this if your Canada PR application is rejected. You can request a refusal letter from the concerned authority citing reasons for rejection. If there are no issues in the documentation on reviewing the refusal letter, you can seek clarification with IRCC and appeal to revoke the rejection. In case of errors, you can re-apply with corrected information that addresses the reasons for the previous refusal. If your application was rejected due to eligibility factors, you can try other PR pathways that may suit you. The reasons for denial may be incomplete documentation, criminal history, failure to meet eligibility requirements, prolonged health issues, etc.

What is the Start-Up Visa Program for investors in Canada?
The Startup Visa Program targets entrepreneurs with innovative businesses. It requires a letter of support from a designated organization, such as a venture capital firm or incubator, which provides financial or operational support to the immigrant entrepreneurs. This visa is a direct pathway for Canada PR, as successful entrepreneurs can apply.
Can I work while studying in Canada on a study visa?
Yes, International students with valid study permits can work in Canada while studying. Students can work within the university or college (on campus) without a separate work permit. International students can generally work for 20 hours per week off campus (can be extended to 24 hours if certain requirements are met). However, there are no restrictions on work during semester breaks.
What is the difference between a work permit and work visa in Canada?
A work visa allows you to enter Canada and work for a specific period (Usually 2 to 4 years), while a work permit authorizes you to work in Canada. A work permit is usually issued upon arriving in Canada, meaning you must enter Canada on a work visa and then apply for a work permit. Work permits can be open or employer-specific. Open work permit allows you to work for multiple employers, while an employer-specific work permit is for a particular employer, job, and location
