Entry to Canada at any port (land, air or water) may be denied unless the traveller holds a valid permit. The permit may be valid up to 2 years and allows visitor entrance into Canada for vacation or business purposes. However, this pass does not allow one to establish residency in Canada.

Some visitors trying to enter Canada have been told at the Border that they are not eligible to enter. Canada Border Crossing Services can assist. Please note that resolution may take from 3 weeks to 6 months.
