At Pacific Ways Immigration Consultancy, we help you choose the right pathway, meet eligibility requirements, and prepare a strong application that aligns with IRCC’s ever-changing regulations.

Temporary residence is often the first step in a larger immigration journey, and we guide you through it with clarity and care.

A .Visitor Pathways

Visit Canada for Tourism, Family, Business, or Long-Term Stays

  • Visitors come to Canada for leisure, tourism, family visits, events, medical reasons, or business activities. Depending on your country of citizenship, you may need a Visitor Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

A TRV is required for citizens of non-visa-exempt countries.

  • We assist with:
  • First-time visitor visa applications
  • TRV extensions and reapplications from inside Canada
  • Overcoming previous refusals
  • Strong documentation packages demonstrating ties, finances, and purpose of travel

Super Visa for Parents & Grandparents

Allows extended stays of up to 5 years at a time, with multiple entries for up to 10 years.

  • We help with:
  • Invitation letters
  • Medical insurance requirements
  • Relationship documentation
  • Demonstrating financial eligibility of the host child or grandchild

Business Visitors

  • For individuals entering Canada for short-term business-related activities such as meetings, conferences, site visits, or training — without entering the Canadian labour market.

  • Restoration of status for workers, students, and visitors
