We provide Umrah packages, including flights, hotels and an Umrah visa from Canada. So, when planning for Umrah, Kaabah Tours is your best choice.

Difference Between Umrah and Hajj Visa

Before we go any further, we must differentiate between the visas for the two pilgrimages. Both Hajj and Umrah have separate visas with different characteristics and purposes. So, let's discuss both in detail.

Umrah Visa

Umrah is a religious journey that Muslims can perform throughout the year. It has no restrictions on when to perform and is not an obligatory pilgrimage. The purpose is to visit Makkah to see the Kaaba, perform Tawaf around it, and do other religious activities. And for you to be able to go on this pilgrimage, you must have an Umrah visa. The visa's duration is determined by what kind of package you choose and your preferences.

Moreover, since Umrah can be performed at any time of the year and the demand is spread over the year, the visa does not have a quota. So, you don't have to worry about not getting a spot for your Saudi Umrah visa from Canada. However, the demand is extremely high in Ramadan, so try to book early that month.

Hajj Visa

On the other hand, Hajj is an obligatory pilgrimage that every physically and financially able Muslim must perform at least once. It occurs in the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah, from the 8th to the 13th, leading to Eid-ul-Adha. During this time, Muslims from all over the globe gathered in Makkah to do rituals inspired by Prophet Abraham. It's a significant time for Muslims.

So, those wanting to go on this pilgrimage must apply for a Hajj visa from Canada. Hajj visas let you stay in Saudi Arabia longer because the pilgrimage takes a few days. During the pilgrimage, people do rituals in places like Makkah, Mina, and Arafat. However, every pilgrim must leave Saudi Arabia by the 10th of the Islamic month of Muharram.

Getting a visa for Hajj needs careful planning because the demand is high, and each country has a quota. For this purpose, you must apply with a licensed travel agency like Kaabah Tours. We will also provide proof of your hotel bookings. And the best part? A Hajj visa is provided for free, so there are no extra costs.

Documents and Process for Umrah Visa

We understand that Umrah is a dream for many Muslims. That's why when you book with us, you don't need to worry about any of the paperwork for your Umrah visa. It's all included in your package, so you can have an easy experience from the start. However, knowing the requirements is vital for a smooth journey.

Documents

First, let's ensure you know all the documents you must provide us for your visa. The list is simple but essential.

• Passport: Your passport is your key to entering Saudi Arabia. So, make sure it stays valid for a minimum of six months from when you plan to go there.
• Application Form: The next step is to correctly fill out an Umrah visa application form. But don't worry; we will help you with the entire application and provide the form as well.
• Passport-sized Photographs: Another essential document is getting recent passport-sized photographs. They must be coloured and on a white background.
• Proof of Flights: One of the most important things is to provide proof of return flights to Saudi Arabia. But when you book a package with us, you don't have to worry about it because we will book the flights for you.
• Certificate of Vaccination: Anyone going to Umrah must present documentation of the Meningitis vaccine. The certification date should not be over three years or earlier than ten days.
• Additional Documents: Lastly, there's an additional document for those who have converted to Islam and have a non-muslim name. You must prove you are a Muslim by getting a certificate from a nearby mosque.
