Canada Visit Visa from Nepal 2026: Online Application Guide

Canada Visit Visa from Nepal 2026: Online Application Guide

Canada is a highly preferred destination for Nepali travelers seeking tourism, holidays, or visits to family and friends. In 2026, Nepalese passport holders planning to visit Canada must apply for a Canada Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa – TRV) in advance. The application process is managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and is primarily online, with clear documentation and biometrics requirements. This guide explains the step-by-step online application process, eligibility, documents, fees, and key conditions.

Who Needs a Canada Visit Visa?

Nepali citizens are not visa-exempt for Canada. If you plan to travel for tourism, holidays, or visiting family/friends, you must obtain a Visitor Visa before departure. Approval is discretionary and based on your documents, travel intent, and ties to Nepal.

Eligibility Basics

To qualify in 2026, applicants must show:

  • A temporary purpose of travel and intent to return to Nepal

  • Sufficient funds to cover airfare, accommodation, and living expenses

  • Strong ties to Nepal (employment, business, family, property, or studies)

  • Compliance with health and security requirements
    Unauthorized work or long-term study is not allowed on a visitor visa.

Online Application: Step-by-Step

  1. Create an IRCC Account
    Open an account on the official IRCC portal to start your application and track status.

  2. Complete the Online Forms
    Fill out the Visitor Visa forms accurately in English, including personal details, travel plans, and background declarations.

  3. Upload Supporting Documents
    Upload clear scans of all required documents (listed below).

  4. Pay Fees Online
    Pay the visitor visa fee (and biometrics fee, if applicable) online. Fees are non-refundable.

  5. Submit & Receive Biometrics Instruction
    After submission, most Nepali applicants will receive a Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL).

  6. Give Biometrics at a VAC
    Visit a designated Visa Application Centre (VAC) to provide fingerprints and a photo.

  7. Track & Respond
    Monitor your application online and promptly respond to any IRCC requests.

Required Documents (Online Upload)

  • Valid Passport (generally valid beyond the intended stay) and bio-data page copy

  • Photographs meeting IRCC specifications

  • Proof of Funds (recent bank statements, savings, salary slips, income/tax documents)

  • Travel Plan (flight reservation, accommodation details, brief itinerary)

  • Proof of Ties to Nepal (employment letter, business registration, property documents, family/study evidence)

  • Invitation Letter (if visiting family/friends) with proof of relationship, if applicable

  • Travel History (previous visas/stamps), if available
    IRCC may request additional documents (medical exam or police clearance) depending on your profile.

Fees & Processing Time

  • Fees: Paid online at submission; non-refundable even if refused. Biometrics fee applies where required.

  • Processing Time: Varies by case and season. Apply 8–10 weeks before travel to allow sufficient time.

After Approval & Entry

Approved visas are placed in your passport after submission (label) or issued per IRCC instructions. A visitor visa typically allows temporary stays (often up to six months per visit), subject to border officer discretion. A visa does not guarantee entry; final admission is decided at the port of entry.

Important Conditions

Visitors must respect the permitted stay and purpose. Working or studying without authorization and overstaying can affect future applications.

While Governments Struggle to Retain Youth, Nabil Bank Bets on Returnee Entrepreneurs

While Governments Struggle to Retain Youth, Nabil Bank Bets on Returnee Entrepreneurs Successive governments in Nepal have repeatedly spoken of bringing back migrant workers, even as they have failed to create conditions that prevent young people from leaving in the first place. Despite political promises, outward migration continues to rise, and the country has struggled not only to attract returnees but also to retain those still at home. Against this backdrop, a rare institutional initiative from the banking sector has begun to draw attention. Many Nepali youths who spend years working abroad express a desire to return home voluntarily. Some plan to come back permanently, while others seek to establish businesses in Nepal through family members while still employed overseas. However, such aspirations often collide with a lack of access to finance, unclear policies, and weak state support. For years, returnee migrants have largely depended on personal savings or informal borrowing to start economic activities.

Global Alcohol Consumption Falls to Historic Low, Shaking an $830 Billion Industry The global alcohol industry is facing one of its most profound disruptions in modern history as the number of people consuming alcohol continues to decline worldwide. What was once considered a recession-proof industry is now confronting structural change driven by shifting consumer behaviour, rising health awareness, and geopolitical pressures. Recent data indicate that the combined market value of major alcohol producers has shrunk by approximately $830 billion, underscoring the scale of the slowdown.

Private Investment in Nepal’s Energy Sector Crosses NPR 13 Trillion, Report Shows

Private Investment in Nepal’s Energy Sector Crosses NPR 13 Trillion, Report Shows Private sector investment in Nepal’s energy sector has reached NPR 13.10 trillion, highlighting the scale of private capital mobilised in hydropower and related infrastructure over the past decades. The figure comes from a special study conducted by the Independent Power Producers’ Association Nepal (IPPAN), marking the first time such a comprehensive assessment of private investment in the energy sector has been carried out. According to IPPAN, the study was undertaken to quantify how much capital the private sector has committed to Nepal’s power industry, an area traditionally viewed as high-risk due to long gestation periods, regulatory uncertainty and financing challenges. The findings, released on the occasion of IPPAN’s 26th anniversary, underscore the growing role of private developers in shaping the country’s energy landscape.

Central Bank Tightens Dividend Rules to Rein in Risk in Microfinance Sector

Central Bank Tightens Dividend Rules to Rein in Risk in Microfinance Sector Nepal’s central bank has introduced stricter rules on dividend distribution by licensed microfinance institutions, signalling a tougher regulatory stance amid rising concerns over asset quality and financial discipline in the sector. The move reflects growing unease over the ability of some microfinance institutions to balance shareholder returns with long-term stability, particularly as non-performing loans continue to rise. Under the revised framework issued by Nepal Rastra Bank, dividend eligibility will now be directly linked to two key indicators: the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) and the capital adequacy ratio maintained after dividend distribution. Regulators say this approach is intend

Hotel Forest Inn IPO Signals Gradual Expansion of Nepal’s Listed Tourism Sector

Hotel Forest Inn IPO Signals Gradual Expansion of Nepal’s Listed Tourism Sector The hotel and tourism sector on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) is witnessing a slow but notable expansion with the entry of Hotel Forest Inn Limited, a five-star hotel company that has launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company has opened its first phase of share issuance exclusively for Nepali citizens working abroad, reflecting a growing trend of mobilising remittance-linked capital into long-term domestic investments. According to the approved issuance plan, Hotel Forest Inn has received permission to issue shares worth NPR 4 billion, equivalent to 40 million shares at a face value of NPR 100 per share. Of this total, 10 percent has been reserved for foreign-employed Nepalis, a category that regulators increasingly view as a stable source of investment capital. Market analysts note that targeting this group in the first phase helps companies secure relatively informed and patient investors, particularly in capital-intensive sectors such as hospitality.
