VISA TOURISTE CANADA - Besoin d'un VISA ou de l'AVE pour voyager au Canada?

Hello everyone my name is Rassane Chebouni and I am an immigration consultant for the company MaVoie In this video we'll discuss visiting Canada So how does a candidate abroad go about visiting Canada For this we need to address a few important points first of which is: do you need a visa to visit Canada If not we'll discuss the AVE or electronic travel authorization And if that's the case we'll figure out how to submit a visitor visa application So the first thing you need to know is whether or not you require a visa to come to Canada For that we'll go to the government website together and check whether you need a visa So here you are on the official website of the Government of Canada You'll find the link to this page in the description And the first one which travel document do you plan to use Here it will be the passport Then we'll select the country corresponding to the passport So for an Australian applicant for example we'll click here Do you hold dual nationality So here the answer will generally be no for most cases And you can see that the Australian applicant doesn't need a visitor visa but an AVE So now let's take a closer look at the AVE It's the Electronic Travel Authorization Here we're still on the government's page You'll also find the link in the description And you can see how to submit an AVE So what you need to present the AVE is your passport your travel details when are you planning to go to Canada and then a credit card to pay the 7-dollar fee So here you have forms that can help you complete the AVE but it's truly a very very simple process And in another video by clicking here we'll show you how to submit a complete AVE application Now we'll look at the second case—the case of a candidate who requires a visa So here we're still answering the same questions passport And we'll take the candidate who just came from Angola So here this is a candidate from Angola who does not hold Canadian citizenship who is not a permanent resident of the United States and who is visiting Canada So here for an Angolan candidate you can see the candidate needs a visitor visa and the visitor visa fee is 100 dollars So by clicking here you'll see how to submit a visitor visa application And there are two ways to do it—online or on paper Now we return to our presentation to wrap everything up Therefore for the AVE the Electronic Travel Authorization generally speaking if you're coming from a wealthy country either a country in the European Union or a wealthy South American nation such as Chile or for example recently with Mexico or a country with direct ties to Canada such as Australia or the United Kingdom In that case you likely don't need a visitor visa to come to Canada What you need is simply the information regarding your trip your passport and a credit card to pay the 7-dollar fee associated with the AVE Now if you're part of the rest of the world you'll likely need a visitor visa You can apply either online or on paper I strongly recommend doing it online simply because it's faster and you can track your request in real time rather than going back and forth by mail On the other hand you'll need a great deal of things The visitor visa fee is 100 dollars and you need a complete application because the goal of the Government of Canada is to ensure that all visitors who come to Canada will depart at the end of their visit And for that as a candidate you must demonstrate that you have strong reasons to return to your home country such as managing a business and similar responsibilities You need a lot of documents for the visitor visa here That'll be covered in another video You'll learn how to apply for a visitor visa We'll go through it step by step together But for now what's important to remember is that if you come from a wealthy country You likely don't need a visitor visa only an AVE If you're coming from a low-income country you probably do need a visitor visa It costs more takes longer and the process is much more complicated That's it I hope this video has been helpful to you Stay with us and in our next videos we'll show you how to apply for an AVE and how to apply for a visitor visa See you very soon
