A partir de 6 de fevereiro de 2014 o visto de entrada única para o Canadá deixou de existir. Todos os vistos emitidos serão considerados para múltiplas entradas.
Com isso também não haverá mais diferenciação nas taxas, que agora passa a ser CAD 100 ou R$ 220.
Na validade, não houveram alterações. O visto tem a mesma validade do passaporte, ou seja, no máximo 5 anos.
Para quem necessita de visto para múltiplas entradas, uma boa notícia, pois houve uma redução de R$ 100 na taxa de solicitação. Já para quem gostaria de entrada única, um aumento de R$ 60.http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2014/2014-02-03.asp escreveu: Multiple-entry visas make it easier for travellers to visit Canada
February 3, 2014 — Ottawa — Office of Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister—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.
The fee for the temporary resident visa (TRV) program will now be reduced from $150 to $100 for the processing of either a single- or multiple-entry visa.
By harmonizing 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.
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 changes include (all figures in CAD $):
$25 increase for study permits and renewals;
$5 increase for work permits and renewals;
$25 increase for extensions to remain in Canada as a visitor;
the maximum fee for a family to apply for TRVs will increase by $100 to $500; and
the maximum work permit fee for a group of performing artists and their staff will increase by $15 to $465.
