Visitor Visa for Minors Under 18 in Canada

Visitor Visa for Minors Under 18 in Canada

Did you know that obtaining a visitor visa for individuals under 18 has special conditions and requirements in Canada?
If you are under 18 and plan to travel alone or with someone other than your parents or legal guardians, you must have an official letter of consent in English or French from both parents or your guardian. This letter must include information about the adult who will be responsible for you in Canada.

In Canada, individuals under 18 are considered “minors,” but they must comply with the same immigration laws as other visitors.
If a minor enters Canada without the proper documentation or accompanied by someone other than their parents or legal guardian, their case will be examined more carefully and strictly by immigration officers.

Which countries can you visit with a Canadian visitor visa?

Having a Canadian visitor visa brings additional advantages.
With a valid Canadian visa, you can travel to countries such as:

• Mexico

• Costa Rica (for stays up to 30 days)

• Panama

• Dominican Republic

• Jamaica

• North Macedonia

• Serbia

• Montenegro

• Albania (summer months only)

• Qatar

• United Arab Emirates

Without needing an extra visa!

How long can you stay with a Canadian visitor visa?

You can stay up to 6 months at a time, provided you have a Multiple Entry visa.
This visa allows you to travel multiple times to Canada within its validity period, staying up to 6 months on each visit.
If your visa is still valid, you can also apply for an extension, but you must submit forms and reasons to explain your extended stay.

Important:
Your authorized stay is determined by the border officer upon your arrival and could range from 1 to 6 months.

Applying with or without an invitation letter

Having an invitation letter from a resident in Canada (family or friend) can significantly increase your chances of getting a visa.
If you don't have anyone in Canada, don’t worry—it is still possible to get a visitor visa by providing a clear, detailed travel plan.

Important Warning

Always provide truthful and complete information throughout the visa application process. Even minor inaccuracies can cause serious and long-term consequences for your immigration record.

Can you apply for asylum in Canada with a visitor visa?

Holding a visitor visa alone does not automatically grant eligibility for asylum.
You must prove that you face serious threats or human rights violations in your home country.
Requesting asylum without valid grounds can lead to deportation, visa rejection, or future bans.

If your child is born in Canada, they will automatically become a Canadian citizen, regardless of the parents' status.
However, the costs related to childbirth (hospital fees, medical care) must be paid privately by the parents.
