Canada has announced to offer multiple-entry visas to Indian travellers.
The visa will be offered to qualified travellers allowing visitors to come and go from the country for six months at a time for upto 10 years. There will be a single fee of CAD100 for processing of either an application for single or multiple-entry visa. By harmonising the single and multiple-entry visa fees, the visa application process will become simpler for applicants and promote tourism and trade by increasing the number of eligible travellers who are able to make multiple visits to Canada.
“The introduction of multiple-entry visas for Indian travellers will moderate their visa hassles and make their visit to Canada easier. The shift will certainly help us generate more outbound figures to Canada,” SanJeet, representative for Canadian Tourism Commission in India told the Financial Express.
In 2012, Canada issued a record number of visitor visas with almost one million visas approved, representing an increase of almost 40% since 2004. The multiple-entry visa is particularly popular with visitors from India, China and Mexico who hold 10-year passports and have been eligible to apply for a 10-year visa.
