Do I need a visa for Canada from Uzbekistan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Uzbek nationals must obtain a Temporary Resident (visitor) Visa to travel to Canada. Uzbekistan is not eligible for the eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization).
Holders of an Uzbek passport cannot travel to Canada on an eTA; they require a Temporary Resident Visa. This visa is obtained online through IRCC, followed by a biometrics appointment at a Visa Application Centre (VAC). Do not rely on an approximate fee figure — check canada.ca for the official amounts.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Uzbekistan is not among the eTA-eligible countries, as the eTA is reserved for visa-exempt travellers. An Uzbek citizen must therefore apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for any tourist, family or business visit to Canada.
How and where to apply
The application is made online via IRCC's secure portal (canada.ca). You create an account, complete the form, upload your supporting documents and pay the fees. You will then receive a biometric instruction letter for your fingerprints and photo, to be given in person at a Visa Application Centre serving Uzbekistan and the region.
Documents and fees
Prepare: a valid passport, a compliant photo, proof of sufficient funds, a travel itinerary, an invitation letter if applicable, and evidence of ties to Uzbekistan (employment, family, property). Both a visa fee and a biometrics fee apply, but amounts are not stated here — refer to canada.ca for the official current rates.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary by workload and the country where you apply; use IRCC's processing-time tool. Provide your biometrics promptly after the instruction letter, since processing often only begins once they are received. Show clearly that you intend to leave at the end of your authorised stay.
Common mistakes
Common grounds for refusal include weak proof of funds or of ties to the home country, an incomplete form, failing to give biometrics, or an unconvincing intention to return. Do not book non-refundable flights before the visa is approved.
