Hi, my name is Michael Niren. I’m the founder of visaplace.com, an immigration lawyer. The Canadian government’s Citizenship and Immigration Canada just announced that it will be lifting the visa requirements for Czech citizens, for citizens of the Czech Republic. This is really good news. So, they do not have to, now, if they want to come to Canada as visitors, apply for a tourist visa or a temporary resident visa.
Tourist Visa Criteria For Czech Republic Citizens
Canada, in assessing countries to lift requirements for visitor visas, looks at the immigration integrity of the country, asylum rates, and their documentation, and has since lifted the requirement for Czech citizens to get visas. Now, this doesn’t mean that they can immigrate to Canada.
Individuals from the Czech Republic and other countries require to qualify for immigration for permanent residents. But, for now at least, citizens of the Czech Republic do not require visitor visas to come to Canada. They still have to prove, when they enter the country, that they’re here for a temporary purpose, that they will not stay beyond their status, and that they will be returning back after their visit is complete.
Are You a Citizen of the Czech Republic Interested in a Tourist Visa?
There are a lot of other countries, unfortunately, that still require temporary resident visas or visitor visas, but Czech Republic, for now, is not one of them. So, thank you very much for listening and have a great day.
