Canadian business visa is generally processed within 15 to 45 working days.

However, in certain cases, the Canadian embassy in India may take a longer time to issue the visa. The processing time varies largely based on the number of applications and the current diplomatic circumstances between the two countries. There may be several other factors as well such as issues with your profile and so on.

In my personal experience, one of my friends has applied for a Business visa through Nationwide Visas and he received his business visa in 22 days.

Just for your information, you should know that a business visa is a kind of visitor visa wherein you are allowed to stay in Canada for a maximum period of 6 months. It is generally required by those individuals who want to take part in international business activities without being part of the Canadian labour market or if you’re visiting Canada temporarily to look for ways to grow your business, invest or advance your relationships.

In case you’re planning to stay for more than 6 months in Canada under a business visitor visa, then you’ll be considered a temporary worker and will be required to apply for a work permit.

Though the process is not that easy as it seems to be due to the complicated government rules and immigration procedures. So it is highly recommended to take some professional and expert advice. The immigration experts have years of experience behind them to deal with such cases, so always try to seek a helping hand to simplify the immigration process for you, and if you ask me, I would recommend the tried and tested immigration consultancy that is Nationwide Visas. They are really good at their work. I’ve seen it during my friend’s application. You can also trust them and if you still have queries regarding business visas and their process, I would personally recommend you to visit the Nationwide Visas office or call their immigration counselors directly.
