Hello i am manmeet.. I applied visitor visa online. I got a passport request lettet. I sent my passport to LA VAC. when they receive my package I got an email with my tracking number. In that information they wrote VISA TYPE- PVT. can anybody tell me what is PVT VISA TYPE.
THANK YOU..!!! :)
 
Hi,

Have you got your passport back with the visa stamped?

You can send an email to the LA visa office to get a clarification. It seems to be an error in your case

Generally speaking, PVT visa is a Working Holiday Visa (Permis Vacances Travail, in French)


Cheers
 
Ohh actually I confirmed that.. they said it means "private tourist visa".... anyways thank you..!!! Can you tell me one thing is that confirmed I got visa. Because I got passport request letter from cic account. So my passport will get only the sticker on it or any decision is still left?

There's no such thing as a "private tourist visa" for Canada.

In fact, there's no such thing as a visa type "tourist visa" for Canada.... Canada's visa is called a "Temporary Residence Visa"..... the category is V-1 VISITOR

Hello Simran,

I am in the same situation, could you please let me know if that is any issue as i applied for a Visitor visa but they mentioned in the email notification as PVT Type. I hope its not a problem.

Do you guys know what is PVT. I am in same situation and I had applied for student visa..
 
Here is the explanation of PVT type visa I received from VAC:

"That is the abbreviation used for all those submitting their passports through our office for online visa applications."
