Do Malaysians Need a Visa to Visit Canada?

Yes. Malaysian passport holders need a Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) to visit Canada (no eTA option). Apply before you travel; most applicants must give biometrics. This applies whether you arrive by air, land, or sea.

If you’re flying and you see references to an eTA online, that does not apply to Malaysians—only to passport holders from visa-exempt countries.

You can check the official requirement and start your application on IRCC’s site.

How to Apply for a Canada Visa

Source from www.canada.ca

Confirm you need a visa (not an eTA)

Malaysia is visa-required for short visits to Canada. You’ll be applying for a Visitor Visa (TRV).

Read the official “How to apply” guide

This page walks you through the process and opens the online application.

Gather documents with the IRCC checklist (IMM 5484)

Use IRCC’s official checklist to prep your passport, photos, funds, travel plan, ties to Malaysia, invitation (if any), etc.

Get visa photos that meet IRCC specs

Photo size and head size are specific (35×45 mm; head 31–36 mm).

Create/Sign in to the IRCC online portal and fill the forms

You’ll complete the TRV application online and upload your documents. (Forms like IMM 5257 are generated in the portal.)

Pay fees (visa + biometrics)

Visitor visa processing fee is CAD $100. Biometrics (if required) are $85 per person ($170 family cap). Pay online.

Give biometrics (fingerprints + photo)

You’ll receive a Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL) in your IRCC account. Book an appointment at an official site (e.g., VFS Global Kuala Lumpur) and complete biometrics within the deadline stated on your BIL.

Wait for IRCC updates

IRCC will message you in your account. If approved, you’ll receive passport submission instructions and a decision letter. Follow the instructions exactly; VACs charge a service fee to transmit your passport for visa stamping.

Submit your passport

Use the method IRCC specifies (often via the VAC). After the visa counterfoil is placed in your passport, the VAC returns it to you.

Travel to Canada

Bring your passport (with the visa), supporting documents (e.g., itinerary, proof of funds, invitation if applicable), and your return/onward ticket. IRCC’s “Visitor visa” page explains arrival steps.

I paid the deposit with my credit card when checking in. It's been 19 business days since I checked out, and I still haven't received the deposit release. (Apparently, it takes longer with international credit cards.) However, when I called the front desk, the male staff member was extremely rude and lacked basic professionalism. He just told me to call my bank, saying it was none of the hotel's business. All I wanted was confirmation that the hotel had at least notified the bank on the 25th. He couldn't seem to understand this point, no matter how I tried to explain, and just kept repeating that I should call my bank.

The parking, although costing, could not have been more convenient. The location was also outstanding, being so close to the CN-Tower and many restaurants. The unit was great and I'm so glad i requested an upper floor with a balcony as the weather was nice and we sat out there many times, day and night. So nice having two bathrooms and the extra bedroom for extra space. Very well appointed as well. I left to go to the hockey game and realized I had left my key in the room and I was freaked as I didn't know how I'd get back in, as the rental company is not onsite. I got in touch with them and they reminded me that it must be unlocked as the key is need to lock the door from the exterior. Stupid me didn't remember that so disaster averted, although the unit was unlocked. The concierge did go up to make sure it was indeed unlocked and untouched to their eyes. Overall, would love to come back and stay there again, totally satisfied. Thanks again for your assistance with the key debacle..MSP

Garden District Toronto|0.37km dari pusat bandar

I had originally booked a junior suite two months ago, but closer to my check-in date, I found a larger, more unique suite that was actually cheaper than the junior suite! Maybe someone cancelled? I snapped it up right away. The room came with a spacious living room and kitchen, equipped with a microwave, induction hob, and fridge. However, there were no cooking utensils, but that was fine as we didn't need them anyway. Having a kitchen meant access to drinkable tap water, which was super convenient. The microwave was really useful; I could just heat up water for a hot drink. The sofa bed in the living room was cleverly hidden inside the sofa, and the duvet cover and other linens were in a cupboard. I only found this out after calling the front desk. The location is fantastic, very close to Chinatown and the Eaton Centre, both about a 10-minute walk away. Supermarkets and pharmacies are all readily available. We even found an A&W nearby and enjoyed a delicious Canadian burger! The only minor downside was that check-in is after 3 PM, and check-out is before 12 PM the next morning. Also, you can't leave your luggage at the front desk overnight. So, we had to haul our luggage all the way to Quebec City!

The hotel environment and location were decent, but I'm truly speechless about the parking fee. We confirmed multiple times with the front desk if there would be a parking charge, and they said no. We parked for 4 days, only to find our credit card charged CAD 55 per day for parking after check-out. If there was a fee, they should have been clear about it. We could have used a much cheaper public parking lot nearby. To be charged after the fact and then told parking isn't free – this kind of communication is just frustrating! However, I must say that Trip.com's service is genuinely excellent and deserves praise. After I complained, they tried to communicate with the hotel, and when that didn't resolve the issue, they automatically covered half the cost, reducing our losses. I will definitely stick to booking through Trip.com in the future. Other apps might be cheaper, but they just shirk responsibility when problems arise – I've experienced it firsthand.

How Long Does It Take to Apply for a Canada Visa?

there isn’t one fixed timeline. IRCC’s processing time for a Visitor Visa (TRV) varies by the country you apply from and changes often. Check the live estimate here: the IRCC “Check processing times” tool.

What the timeline usually looks like

Stage	Typical timing	Notes
Submit application + pay fees	Same day	Online via IRCC portal.
Biometrics appointment	A few days–1+ week (varies by city/season)	You book after IRCC issues your Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL). Processing-time charts don’t include the time to give biometrics.
IRCC processing	Varies by country	Use the IRCC checker; most apps are processed “in a few weeks or less,” but it can be longer depending on volume/complexity.
Passport submission for visa stamping (after approval)	Courier/VAC handling adds extra days	VACs charge a service fee for passport transmission/return; this time is not in IRCC’s processing estimate.
