加拿大签证新政策 单次访问签证已成历史

Visitors to Canada will automatically be considered for a multiple-entry visa, starting on February 6, 2014. Multiple-entry visas allow qualified visitors to come and go from Canada for six months at a time for up to 10 years without having to reapply each time.

加拿大移民部今天宣布，从2月6号起，申请来加普通签证全部改为多次往返签证。也就是说，以后来加拿大就没有单次签证了。签证只有两种: 普通多次往返签证和超级签证。超级签证本身有效期就是10年多次，也就是说，新换的护照加拿大将都会给10年多次的签证。新政策施行后，所有合资格的申请人都将自动获签发多次加国入境签证（Multiple-entry visa），这将允许游客在加拿大逗留6个月至10年期间随便出入境，不用重新申请入境签证。

费用：多次签证申请费由原来的150加币降低为100加币，原来单次费用为75加币，但是有效期只有6个月，这样子很合算。停留期：普通签证每次6个月，超级签证每次最长待2年。

关于超级签证：在加居民或公民及处在移民申请签证审批轮候期的移民的父母和祖父母，超级签证有效时间可长达10年，获签者每次留加时间最长24个月，且在此期间不必更新签证。申请超级签证的父母和祖父母必须满足体检合格、享有有效健康保险、获子女或孙儿财政担保等等条件。

其他签证费用变化：

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will increase other fees in the temporary resident program, effective February 6, 2014. These changes will reduce the burden on Canadian taxpayers and ensure that fees closely reflect the real cost of processing applications.

These increases include (all figures in CAD $):

$25 for study permits and renewals;
$5 increase for work permits and renewals;
$25 increase for extensions to remain in Canada as a visitor;
$100 as the maximum fee for a family to apply for TRVs; and
$15 as the maximum work permit fee for a group of performing artists and their staff.
