Canada Visitor Visa from India (TRV)
Quick answer: A Canada visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) lets Indian citizens visit Canada for tourism, family visits or business meetings, usually for up to six months per entry. You apply online, give biometrics at VFS, and must show ties to India, travel purpose and enough funds. Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or PRs can apply for a super visa for longer stays.
The Canada visitor visa is for any individual who wants to visit Canada for a short term stay — either for study in a short-term course, work responsibility less than six months, visiting family/relatives, or for a vacation.
