Do Russian citizens need a Canada Visitor Visa?

Yes. If you hold a Russian passport, getting a Canada Visitor Visa is a mandatory requirement for entry into this country. The visa facilities for Russians have reopened.

The Visitor Visa allows travelers from Russia to stay in Canada for up to 6 months for various purposes, such as business activities, tourism, pursuing short-term studies, receiving medical treatment, or visiting family and friends.

To apply for a Canada Visitor Visa, Russian travelers must have the necessary documentation, complete the online application form, and potentially attend an interview (if requested). This process is designed to review your intention to return to Russia once your stay in Canada is over.
