Good news, since February 6, 2014, visitors to Canada will automatically be considered for a multiple-entry visa. This 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.

In addition 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.

Bad news, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will increase other fees in the temporary resident program, effective February 6, 2014.

List of changes (in Canadian dollars) :

• $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;

• $100 increase for the maximum fee for a family to apply for TRVs (fee will now be $500);

• $15 increase for the maximum work permit fee for a group of performing artists and their staff. (fee will now be $465).

Remember that Haiti is among the countries whose citizens need a visa to visit Canada.
