Visiting Canada: Dominican citizen → Canada
🛂
You need a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa)
Dominican Republic passport holders need a visitor visa (TRV) to visit Canada — apply online to IRCC, pay the fee and give biometrics at a visa application centre.
The bottom line
- Apply online to IRCC; the portal gives you a personalized document checklist.
- Fee from CAD $100 per person, plus a separate biometrics fee; processing time varies by country.
- Some travellers can instead get an eTA if they hold a valid US visa or have held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years — check the official canada.ca tool.
Where you'll apply
Because you live in your home country, you give your biometrics in person at a Canada Visa Application Centre (operated by VFS Global) after you receive your biometrics instruction letter.
