Canada is a member of the Schengen Area and has agreements with most EU countries that allow for visa-free travel for nationals of those countries. As such, the Canada visa is generally applicable for both single and multiple entries.

The visa application process can be started by filling out an online application form, which can be found on the website of the Norwegian Immigration Service (Den Norske Innvandringsverdien). The application should include proof of your identity (a passport or driver's license), evidence of your financial stability (a bank statement or recent pay stub), and information about your intended stay in Canada (your itinerary and dates of arrival/departure). Applicants not citizens of a Schengen country will need to provide additional documents, such as a police report demonstrating that they have no criminal record.

Once you've submitted your online application, it will be reviewed by the Norwegian Immigration Service. If your application is approved, you will be required to pay a processing fee plus applicable tax. You will also need to submit a medical insurance certificate indicating that you are covered for costs related to medical treatment should you require it during your stay in Canada. Once all these paperwork requirements have been met, you can expect to receive an invitation letter from the Norwegian Immigration Service confirming that your visa has been approved.

It is unnecessary to get a print-out of the visa you received in your mail. If you have any questions, please contact the Norwegian embassy or consulate in your home country.
