once I am in Canada?
In order to enter Canada or even board a plane prior to departing, you will require the appropriate documentation. This documentation includes a temporary resident visa. You must obtain a temporary resident visa before your departure. You cannot obtain a temporary resident visa once you have arrived in Canada.
It is important to confirm based on your country of citizenship, whether you require a visitor visa. A country of citizenship is the country in which you are born (and you have not renounced or lost citizenship) or naturalized and to which you owe allegiance to that country. The following countries are exempt and do not require a temporary resident visa:
