FIFA World Cup 2026 Is Coming to Canada

The world’s most celebrated sporting event, the FIFA WorldCup, is coming to North America in 2026 — and for the first time ever, Canada will play a major role as one of the host nations, alongside the United States and Mexico.

With Vancouver and Toronto set to welcome thousands of fans, this event promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From breathtaking stadiums and diverse cities to the electric atmosphere of cheering crowds, Canada is ready to make history on the world stage.

But before you pack your jersey and flag — there’s one important thing to remember: without the right visa, you might miss it all.

Why Applying Early for Your Visa Matters

While the anticipation is building, one practical step you shouldn’t overlook is securing your Canadian visa early. Processing times in many countries can stretch for months — and sometimes even exceed a year.

As of September 30, 2025, estimated visa processing times for some countries were:

  • Madagascar - 377 days
  • Zimbabwe - 569 days
  • Norway - 262 days
  • Switzerland - 100 days
  • Spain - 94 days

That means fans from certain regions could wait over 12months for visa approval — making early preparation essential.

Delays can occur for many reasons: incomplete documentation, additional background checks, or seasonal surges in visa applications. The months leading up to FIFA 2026 will be one of the busiest travel periods Canada has ever seen, so applying as soon as possible can save you time, stress, and disappointment.
