A Business or Commercial visa is a document issued by the government permitting foreigners or non-residents to visit a country for trade. Different countries might issue different types of visas for different types of businesses. For instance, a B-1 visa is issued to professional athletes, business-event attendees, lecturers, researchers, industrial engineers, and interns visiting the USA. There are specific requirements to meet pertaining to the purpose of the visit, income, and the duration of the stay if you wish to visit a country under a Business visa.
Visitors should also be acquainted with visa requirements such as passports, immunization, and others before visiting a foreign country. Further, you might also require a letter from the company you are invited to visit in that country. You might as well be liable to tax in the country you visit if you are generating income there.
If you are willing to immigrate to Canada on a Business Visa, you have to prove that your visit can add value to the Canadian economic and cultural ecosystems. The visa officer further evaluates your estimated contribution to Canadian society.
You must be self-employed to be eligible for the self-employed programs even though you satisfy certain other Business visa requirements.
The self-employed program applies to various vocations, from athletics to practicing arts to trainers or coaches.
To be eligible and widen your scope for the Canadian Self-Employed program, you must have experience in the proposed area of trade. If you represent the cultural or athletic sphere, your accomplishment will increase your chances of qualifying for the self-employed program. A famous artist or athlete will significantly contribute to Canada’s cultural or athletic sphere and bring potential investors to the fore through the Canadian Start-up Visa program, further contributing to the economy.
Other freelancers like journalists and professionals like archivists, librarians, and others can also be eligible to apply for the Canadian self-employed program.
If it seems you meet the eligibility criteria for the business visa, the next step would be to apply for the processing of a Canadian business visa, which might include a compilation of documents and application forms, submission of the business visa application, and getting your passport stamped.
The next step would be to complete the documentation- a process of submitting supporting documents for the Canadian Visa application. The documents required for the processing of the business visa are as follows-
– > Letter of invitation for the business visa application from the company you are visiting or organizers of an event you are participating.
-> Registration documents of the company you’re going to work for.
-> Your employer’s letter that states your current designation, the purpose of your visit, and salary.
– > Photographs that meet Canadian photo requirements.
-> A letter from you explaining why you should be given a business visa.

The validity of the Canadian Business visa is up to 6 months. You must stay at most 6 months.
