Business visitors usually stay in Canada for a few days or a few weeks but are able to stay for up to six months.

About eTA \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/yupasscanada.com\/updates-from-canadian-governments\/eta\/\">https:\/\/yupasscanada.com\/updates-from-canadian-governments\/eta\/<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\nYou need a status to stay in Canada. This status includes a visitor, a student permit, a work permit for each purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u2605 eTA is a requirement for traveling to Canada, as it is called travel authorization.&nbsp; &nbsp;Status (or permit) is to keep you staying in Canada for a specific purpose.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to acquiring an eTA before your trip, it is recommended that you have the following documents in your possession when you arrive at the border:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the passport you used to apply for your eTA<\/li>\n<li>a passport or travel document that is valid for your entire stay and guarantees re-entry to your country of origin<\/li>\n<li>a letter of support from your parent company and a letter of invitation from the Canadian host company<\/li>\n<li>other documents such as warranty or service agreements, contracts, etc. if relevant to the visit<\/li>\n<li>24-hour contact details of your business host in Canada<\/li>\n<li>proof that you have enough money for both your stay in Canada and your return home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if an eTA or a TRV is issued, a border services officer at the port of entry could find that the visitor needs a Work Permit. &nbsp;If there is a business relationship in place, your letter of invitation can explain the reasons for a visit and help prevent this from happening. Also, when the Canadian business provides 24-hour contact numbers, they can answer questions about the visit.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize the above, eTA is enough to travel to Canada, but afterwards it is necessary to present documents at the airport to stay for business trips.<\/p>\n<h4>What actually happens at the airport?<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Be sure to tell an immigration officer at the airport that you would like to enter Canada for a business purpose. Do not go to the kiosk where you can finish immigration check through a machine. If found, you may be required a Work Permit.<\/li>\n<li>In most cases, your passport is stamped and you do not need to show the documents you brought. In some cases, you may have to show the documents a Secondary Room. \u2605 It depends on the judgment of the officer at that time of the entry.
