Important Info
- Canada's application is entirely online through the IRCC portal. After submission, IRCC issues a Biometric Instruction Letter (valid 30 days) that authorises you to give biometrics in person at a VFS Global centre in India.
- Processing officially begins only once your biometrics are received by IRCC, not from your online submission date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Canada?
Yes, Indian passport holders require a Temporary Resident Visa (Visitor Visa) to enter Canada; the visa-exempt eTA does not apply to India.
Is the entire Canada process online?
The application form and documents are submitted online via the IRCC portal, but biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) must be given in person at a VFS Global Visa Application Centre.
How long is the Biometric Instruction Letter valid?
You have 30 days from receiving the letter to complete your biometrics appointment — processing does not start until biometrics are received.
How long does the Canada visitor visa take?
Typical processing from India ranges from 20 to 45 days after biometrics, though this can extend during high-demand periods — always check the current IRCC estimate.
Do I need to give biometrics every time?
No. Biometrics are valid for 10 years, so returning applicants who gave biometrics for a Canada application within that window generally do not need to repeat the process.
