Canada Issues Record Number of Visitor Visas

Since the beginning of the year, Canada has issued over 500,000 visitor visas. Canada’s tourist season is now in full swing, and by the end of the year, one million visitor visas are expected to be granted.

Last year at this time Canada had issued just over 450,000 visitor visas to travellers abroad. “Canada is the best country in the world, so it is not surprising that so many people want to visit our country, said Minister Kenney” “Our country’s vibrant cities and remote wilderness are a draw for Canadians and international travellers alike.”
