Canada visa for Turkish citizens
Visa required
🇹🇷 Turkish passport → 🇨🇦 Canada: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: Canada commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and border).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond Canada: the Türkiye passport
The 🇹🇷 Türkiye passport ranks #81 of 199 worldwide, entering 115 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Türkiye passport: 🇧🇷 Brazil (90 days), 🇧🇸 Bahamas (240 days), 🇦🇬 Antigua and Barbuda (180 days) — all 115 open destinations.
Going the other way? Canadian citizens visiting Türkiye need no visa — visa-free for up to 90 days.
