UK Visa Requirements For Canadian Citizens

It is not just that Queen Elizabeth II is to be seen on Canadian currency, or that most Canadians know the words to 'God Save the Queen' – many Canadian citizens have an ancestral or family connection to the UK which may give rise to a basis on which they can apply for a visa to move to the UK. For example, as a citizen of Canada, you might have a British parent, grandparent, or partner. In this post we look at the options you might have for relocating to the UK as a Canadian with a British parent, grandparent or partner, as well as alternative UK visa options for Canadians without a British family member.

It is important to note that 'British'-born citizens referred to in this post also refers to those born in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
