That is why choosing the right route is very important for a Canada tour. Flamingo Travels' Canada packages are made keeping the size in mind.

Visa Requirements for Canada from India
As of 2026, Indian citizens need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada for travel. There is no eTA or visa-on-arrival option for Indian passport holders. This means every Indian traveller must apply for a proper visa before flying to Canada.

Processing Time & Cost
- Processing time: Processing usually takes around 20 days for Indian applicants, but can take longer during peak season. So apply at least 3 months before travel. Times may vary, so check the official IRCC website for the latest timelines before applying.
- Fee: CAD 185 per applicant (CAD 100 application fee plus CAD 85 biometrics fee), approximately βΉ11,500. The amount in Indian Rupees may vary slightly due to daily exchange rates.
