Who needs this
For tourism, visiting relatives, short-term study, or a business trip. In the UK it's called a Standard Visitor visa, in Canada a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).
Document checklist
- A valid passport
- A completed online visa application form
- A photo
- A bank statement covering the last 3–6 months
- An employment certificate or business documents
- A hotel booking or an invitation letter
- A flight reservation
- A biometrics appointment
This list covers the typical case. Depending on your situation an extra document may be needed — call us and we'll confirm.
Timing
A UK visa is usually processed within 15 working days. Canadian TRV processing time can range from a few weeks to two months depending on the queue and season. Both countries require a separate biometrics appointment.
Interview specifics
In standard cases, neither country holds a classic interview — the decision is based on the document set. If there are inconsistencies or extra questions, a written request may be sent — we're prepared for that scenario too.
What awaits you in the country
The UK has left-hand traffic, and public transport works smoothly with an Oyster card or contactless payment. Canada has large distances, so planning intercity transport in advance matters. Tipping is customary in both countries. We give separate practical advice based on your specific city and route.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply to Canada and the UK with one document set?
No, each country is processed independently under its own rules, but we can prepare both applications at the same time.
Do I need an eTA or a full visa?
This depends on your citizenship and purpose of travel. Citizens of Uzbekistan usually require a full visa. Call us for an exact answer.
