Visiting Canada

I am a Mexican citizen living in Mexico and want to travel to Canada, what do I need to do?

You now require a Temporary Resident Visa to come to Canada. The process for applying for a visa is available on the Embassy of Canada in Mexico City’s website.

Once you have completed your application and included all necessary documents, such as your passport, you can mail or courier the application along with a pre-paid airway bill (return registered mail), to the Embassy of Canada in Mexico City.

If an interview is required, the Embassy will contact you to arrange one.

Applicants are encouraged to send their applications by courier or registered mail and to avoid visiting the Embassy unless specifically invited.
