Canada visitor visa (TRV)
Check your Canada visitor visa file before IRCC does
A visitor visa turns on whether an officer is satisfied you will leave at the end of your stay. That judgement is theirs, but the things around it are checkable: a passport valid long enough, evidence of what you will do and how you will pay for it, and documents that name the same person.

What this checks, and what it cannot
Two kinds of finding. Verified findings are decided by arithmetic against the Visa Code — passport validity, the required document categories, the EUR 30 000 insurance minimum, whether your documents name the same person. Assessments are a judgement about what your file does not yet show, each tied to a published refusal ground. Neither predicts the decision: a visa is discretionary and nobody can promise you one.
For Canada visitor visa (TRV) that is 4 checks decided by arithmetic against Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and 2 assessments of what your file does not yet show.
Common questions
- What does this actually check?
- Your passport against what IRCC states — valid at least 6 months from the date you plan to travel — whether your file shows the purpose of your trip, that you can support yourself, and ties that speak to leaving at the end of your stay, and whether your documents all name the same person.
- Will it tell me if I will get the visa?
- No. A visitor visa is a discretionary decision: IRPR s.179 requires an officer to be satisfied you will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for your stay. Nobody can promise you that outcome. This checks what can be checked against published rules and names what your file does not yet show.
- Does it know my personalized checklist?
- No, and it does not pretend to. IRCC generates a personalized document checklist inside the portal once you apply, and the documents it asks for differ by why you are visiting. This checks the requirements IRCC states for every applicant, so treat it as a floor rather than the whole list.
- What happens to my passport scan?
- It is stored privately while the review runs and deleted automatically the day after your report is ready. We keep the report, not your documents. Nothing is uploaded until you press Review.
- Where do the rules come from?
- IRCC's own visitor visa pages and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. Every finding names what it comes from and quotes it, so you can check the claim rather than trust it. Read on 2026-09-04.
