I want to share one good news with you all. Finally, my tourist visa for Canada got approved and I am back from Vacations. And in this article, I want to share my experience with you about how I got my Canadian Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). I will be sharing the complete process and what documents I submitted with the application. I submitted my application for the Canada tourist visa at the VFS New Delhi office and the experience was good.
If you are a first time visitor to Canada as a tourist, student, or for business, you may have a problem in filling your application form, collecting all the documents, and many other things. I too had many questions in my mind before filling the application for a Canadian tourist visa and do not want to hire any tourist or visa consultant but the internet helped me a lot in clearing my doubts. There are many good forums and websites which have valuable information for free.
I applied under “Visiting family or friends” category as I have to visit my brother who has a PR status in Canada and he gave me the invitation letter. An invitation letter is very important if someone is calling you to Canada.
So, if you have made your mind to visit Canada as a tourist then, first of all, determine your eligibility to visit Canada.You can visit CIC website for it.
If you found eligible to visit Canada as per the above eligibility test, you can apply for the visa.
You can apply for a Canadian tourist visa in 2 ways. First via online application and the second through an offline form by visiting embassy or VFS office in your area. VFS is the best option if you are applying offline and I haven’t found anyone going to the Canadian embassy themselves for a visa.
I applied for visitor visa through offline method via VFS Global as I don’t have enough time and online process generally takes a long time [that is what I have heard]. An offline process takes around 10 business days or 2 weeks. You can get full information about Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa – TRV) for Canada at CIC website.
Note: Current processing time from India is 44 days.
Don’t forget to include Niagara Falls in your day to day plan, as it is one of the most famous tourist places in Canada, and without seeing it your trip is incomplete. Check the below video and you would know yourself.
My Documents List for Canadian Tourist Visa
I included many documents along with the application form to make sure I am in a good position to get Canada visitor visa. Below are the documents which I included for your reference. You can include other documents too which are suitable and can make your application stronger.
1. Document Checklist [IMM 5558]
2. Application for Temporary Resident Visa [IMM 5257]
3. Family Information [IMM 5645]
4. A Bonafide letter from my company stating that they don’t have any problem and my leaves are approved. The letter should be on official letterhead and signed by your HR. Include an original letter not duplicate.
5. Income tax returns for the past 3 years, though 2 years ITR are sufficient as per the CIC website.
6. Bank statements for the past 6 months showing I have enough money for my stay in Canada and I have money to return back.
7. Letter of invitation from the person inviting you (from my brother) indicating the purpose and duration of the visit.
8. Family details of the person inviting you. Also include their passport number and citizenship.
9. My brother and his family PR card photocopy.
10. My brother’s job offer letter, Notice of Assessments (NOA) and pay slips.
11. I also included my marriage and my child’s birth certificate. This is for showing my strong relationship with my home country.
12. Detailed itinerary and purpose of visit.
13. Round trip air tickets.
14. Proof of previous travel. I included the photostat of my Japan visa and landing stamp.
15. My stocks (shares) statement.
16. Medical insurance for the period of my stay with $100,000 coverage. This I booked with an Indian insurance company as it is cheaper depending upon the number of days you stay in Canada.
17. Last but not the least, do write a cover letter supporting your application and submit it.
Check Different Letter Formats for Canada Tourist Visa (TRV)
I applied in June 2015 and since then, I can see there is a new form or instruction booklet added in the document list for Canadian tourist visa called Visa office instructions – Visit [IMM 5881], which has mainly documented checklist for Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). I am very glad to see that CIC has made a very good list of documents and removed all the confusion which the applicant can have. Do download it.
Note: I would like to thank my brother for helping me collecting the required documents and clearing my doubts wherever needed.
Tips for Canada Temporary Resident Visa – TRV
Below are few tips which I would like to share with you if you are thinking to apply for Canadian tourist visa.
1. Make a list of documents that you need for applying.
2. Collect all the information needed to fill in your application.
3. Fill out the required application forms as applicable to you.
4. Always give correct information on your application forms.
5. If possible, book your flight tickets in advance and include them with the application. It really makes a very big difference and make your application stronger.
6. Medical insurance is also good if you are going to Canada.
7. Do get your application checked by someone else [Very important]. I made one mistake in my main application and will share what I did to correct it in the next post.
8. Make visa officer believe that you are going to return back and have sufficient funds for stay by giving correct information. Don’t FAKE anything else you may be banned for a visa.
9. Do include your cover letter with the application stating why you want to go to Canada and in that letter show your strong relationship with the home country.
After submitting all the documents I got multiple entry Canada visitor visas till the validity of my passport which is 5 years.
Fees of Canada Temporary Resident Visa or Tourist visa
Current fees of Canadian temporary resident visa (TRV) is $100 (CAD). This fee is same for single entry and multiple entry visa. By default you will get multiple-entry Canadian visitor visa.
There is no option to select whether you are applying for a single entry or multiple entry visa now. Earlier the fees of a single entry and multiple entries were different and you also get the option to choose for what type of visa you are applying.
Hope you get some valuable information from my experience and would submit your tourist visa application with more confidence. If you have any doubts about filling your Canadian tourist visa application do let me know through comments or email and I will try to help in the best possible way but remember, I am not a tourist visa expert. Good Luck!!

JASVINDER SINGH

What Lawful status you have in the Great Britain however, you state that you are student in the UK where only 10 hours work right allowed to student for a week and you have stopped working since January so now you are working as a voluntary in the hospital and your aim to go Canada for attending an conference you have negative case nothing to believe for officer after the visit you would leave to Canada, you are unstable in the UK and there is high chances of the refusal.
Asmita
Hi Pawan and Jaswinder
I need your guidance for canada tourist visa. I am wishing to go to Canada in December 2018 for 5 days.
I have few queries regarding this. As below :
1) I want to go to meet my friend (he was my colleague before leaving his job in India) who has taken admission in Brock University for Master’s degree program (Duration 2 years). He has left for Canada yesterday.
2) which reason will be suitable for getting tourist visa – meeting a friend or to visit canada for tourism?
3) I haven’t traveled before this in any country outside India. My mother is housewife, my father is retired government employee, my brother is studying in USA, Texas University.
4) To be very honest, I don’t want to tell my existing organization that I am going to Canada to meet my friend. On the other hand, I don’t want to let my friend that I am coming to Canada to meet him as I want to give him surprise.
5) is it possible to get it done with considering both the reasons in above point.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Pawan Bahuguna
Declaring nothing and getting a Canadian tourist visa is very difficult in my point of view.
What reason will you give to visit Canada?
Asmita
Is travelling reason will be good? To travel at canada?
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi Asmita,
According to your circumstances in India it would very hard for you to get TRV for Canada. I advised you you should apply for US B1/B2 visa first if you succeed then apply for Canada visa under CAN+ program, during US interview you can claim that your brother in the US on study visa and you wish to visit US for social or family visit, you have no need of any financial docs carry at the time of US Visa Interview.
Good luck.

Priya
Hi pawan & Jasvinder,
Hope you both are doing good!!
I am from india, planning to apply for visit visa for canada to meet my boyfriend, currently he is on work permit and he will be the sponsor for me.
I don’t have any travel history
I am working for a private organization as a HR and I have 2.7 years of experience but the thing is I don’t have proper funds as I give my most of the earnings to my parents to help them in business. We have a small super market and it is on my mom name. We have that business from past 35 years.
So my queries include,
Can my mom help me to show funds as a gift deed and is there any possibility to get approval of my visa if my boyfriend is sponsoring me.
Please reply to me ASAP
Thanks in advance.?
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi priya,
You can apply for TRV visa to Canada, keep in mind that your boy friend is on temporary status in the Canada so he cant sponsor you lawfully at temporary status in Canada.
If you have no travel history in the past so it would hard for you to get TRV visa. However, Its up to you how you can convince the entry clearance officer this is the case, officer want to see what you have in the India to believe whether after the planned visit you would leave Canada.
Tell them truth, you can mentioned in your visa application form as well as in the covering letter that your are working women at the post of HR and you have responsibility/commitments with employer and clients in India, have social / family ties with country of origin and parents/mom supporting you financially for visiting Canada and you have no plans to do marry in the Canada and after the intended visit you leave Canada. yes, you can attached your parents assets/funds as well as your funds with your visa application. Its up-to you how you can represent your visa application to High commission. plz note Application should be completed and with full of documents / evidences /information.
Good luck.

All the documents are needed as per CIC guidelines. If you are not including any paper give proper justification for it.
Please check our article on different document formats.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi, Kartar,
you have no need of any agent or lawyer for applying TRV, Canada TRV is a privilege not right, you can apply TRV with all the requested documents, you can check checklist of Canada TRV before applying If you have no travel history or you have no family/friend/relatives in the Canada so you should apply under paper visa application procedure instead of online.
Good luck.

All docs look good. Have you also added leave approval from your company?
Also, no one can tell if the visa will be granted or not. Just have faith. If you have provided the genuine reason to visit with a proper plan, no one can stop your visa.
JASVINDER SINGH

If you have no travel history in the past so It would hard for you to get TRV visa.

JASVINDER SINGH
Hi surinder,
You can check Canada TRV documents list set for India zone at http://www.cic.gc.ca official website before applying, you can apply visa with hotel booking and air tickets and whatever you have travel plans in the Canada don’t need any sponsorship letter for applying Canada visa.
If you have no travel history in the past and you are going to Canada with his family without any family/friend/sponsor in Canada so officer wants to see in your visa application that what you have in India to believe after the intended visit you all leave to Canada, all these things/facts mentioned in the covering letter I advised you you should go for paper visa application rather then online visa application procedure.
Good luck.

Thank you for your support and suggestions. My visa has approved. I have got an email requesting for passports. Soon I will send passport. Again thanks a ton. ?
Ziya
Hi Pawan,
It feels great seeing you helping people like us and guiding in doing the homework.
I am 24yrs single women, no travel history, has 5years of working history and currently working with a 6lakh annual package, planning to travel alone to Canada in July. I am preparing the documents for Canadian visitor/tourist visa. The purpose of my visit is to meet my 2 friends and a small vacation.
Below are the documents I will be adding to my application:
1. Filled Visa Form
2. 1 Personal Particular Form
3. Original Visa
4. 3 Photos
5. Covering letter, explaining my background, purpose of visit, ties to my country as I don’t have my own property but my mother is dependent on me is what I have mentioned, details of my employment, friends details whom I will be visiting (name & address).
6. 1-year ITR and 1-year form 16 as I didn’t fill ITR for one year.
7. 6 months bank statement which shows I received my salaries so far + 3 lakh balance.
8. LIC copy.
9. Credit Cards copies.
10. Round-trip tickets.
11. Hotel booking confirmation.
12. Invitation letter from 2 friends, of which one friend has a PR so she has sent her PR card copy, passport copy, the electricity bill for a month as an address proof and the other friend is a citizen, so he will be sharing the invitation letter, passport, and electricity bill which is on his father’s name.
13. Leave letter with seal and sign.
14. Last 3 months salary slip.
15. Affidavit of Assurance to Return, which includes my details, details of friends I am visiting, my working details, family details and purpose of visit.
16. Purpose of visit letter explaining day to day itinerary.
17. Employment letter.
18. Declaration Letter: As I do my savings in my sister’s account so that I don’t spend all the money, I have got some funds transferred from my sister’s bank account to mine so I have got a declaration letter signed from my sister.
19. Qualification documents.
20. As I will be traveling alone do I need to get a NOC from my mother? If yes what documents/proofs do I need to attach of hers as she does not have a passport?
Please let me know if I should provide more documents.
Pawan Bahuguna
Your document list looks perfect. As you are 23 years old, I don’t think you need NOC from your mother. It would have been better if your friends have written that they will cover for your food and accommodation in your invitation letter.
In your cover letter, do mention you have a dependent mother. Good luck with your visa.
Ziya
Hi Pawan, Thanks for your reply.
Yes, the female friend I will be visiting in Toronto I will be staying with her, so she has mentioned in her letter that I will be staying with her, she will take care of my accomodation, food, tourism and other sundry expenses.
And the 2nd invite is a citizen who is male, so I will be staying at hotel which will be taken care by me but he has mentioned that he will be taking care of my food, travel, tourism and other sundry expenses.
And do you think I should get a letter written from my mother, explaining that she is dependent on me and I will have to return India for her.
Pawan Bahuguna
Yes, you can include that too. Never lose hope. Include all the relevant documents which you can.
Ziya
Yes, I have added my vehicle registration doc, dependent letter from mother, FD’s which I have created on 24th April. I hope this will be enough
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi ziya,
you have variety of the documents for filling TRV of Canada, officer will consider during assessment on your case that you are single/very young and have contacts in the Canada so you can change your mind not return back to India while in the Canada, also you have no travel history in the past, you have no strong family ties and assets in India so it would hard for you to get TRV in present scenario sponsor cant help you to get TRV officer wants to see in your visa application that what you have in India which will motivate you back to India such as you have family/kids, handsome amount of money in the form of fixed deposits locked for years, vehicle registration on your name/property or flats registered at your own name and property docs material should be verifiable online during assessment without all these things it would hard for you to get TRV.
Ziya
Hi Jasvinder,
Thanks for your reply.
Your points and concerns about my ties to India as per a visa officer makes sense to me.
1. As to show ties to my country is only my mother who is 58yrs old and my father is no more with us. I am only working women in our family, so my family is dependent on me.
So do you think I should get a letter written by my mother expressing she needs me and so I have to return to India to take care of her?
2. I don’t have a property on my name, it is under my mother’s name. I don’t have fixed deposits.
I have my vehicle (car) on my name to show and a LIC policy. And a job where I am working since 5yrs, I have to report back to my work in 15days.
Will that be enough?
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi Ziya,,
The starting point for the assessment of any visa application is the information contained in the visa application form and supporting documents. I advise you before applying TRV you should check carefully checklist of Canada visa set for Indian applicants by Canada High commission, do not submit any irrelevant document with your application as you said you have make a fd recently in April 2018 It wont help you to get visa only submit documents which asked by embassy for every applicant, explain everything in your covering letter trying to satisfy the entry clearance officer this is the case I have strong family, employment, social ties with land of origin as well as in Canada and I have no intention to stay longer than requested in the Canada or study, work, wont accept any employment or take any pubic funds of the Canadian govt during her stay and I have no plan to do marriage in the Canada however, I will do marriage in India with the acceptance of my mother and in the presence of other family members / relatives if you could explain these things better in covering letter then officer will awarded you TRV until passport valid keep in mind that ECO is not your enemy he is doing his duty only.
Ziya
Hi Pawan and Jasvinder,
I have submitted my paper application on 30th May, I have submitted 2 invitation letters along with my application from my friends in Canda out of which on one of the invitation letter my friend wrote my passport no. as 123456 and missed writting my correct passport no.
What shall I do in this case? Is there a possibility of getting my application rejected? I have submitted my application from a Pune travel agency, the status while tracking through VFS it say my applicatios is being processed at the Canada Visa office, New Delhi.
Please guide me here…
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi Ziya,
You have no need to worry about passport number Its human error/clerical mistake. your application has been transferred to New Delhi High Commission for assessment and as you saying it will show online is under processing it will takes around 30 days.
You have applied through a travel agency right, so they had mentioned your email id or agency email id in your visa application form, plz note given email id is very important role play in every TRV visa application, High commission sent decision letter only at given email id which you have mentioned in visa application form later they will not treat you from any other email if you will responding them in the future.
If you did not received any refusal letter notice in given email before collection of passport message It means your visa application has been approved and passport will be returned with visa stamped till passport valid.
good luck.
Deep
Hi Pawan,
I really appreciate your reply to my yesterday question regarding chances of getting visa after clearing of my Ban period and you told me email query to the embassy.

Govind Singh
Hi Pawan

Please check whether these documents are enough or not.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi govind,
you have need to consider your own personal circumstances in the Canada, Its true you both are temporary status in the Canada and there is no guarantee of renewal of your worker visa in the future and you want to bring your family in Canada so your intention is settle in the Canada at any cost if you could remember at the time of getting Canada visa you did submitted a SOP where you had signed that after the study or work I would leave to Canada during your kids application processing visa officer verify / consider all these things and may be your visa applications could be refused I advised you trying to get PR then you can file visa for your daughters.
Deep
Hi Pawan,
what are the chances for person who was banned for applying for 2 years owing to misrepresentation and his banned period got over in 2015.
If he applies with his family to visit his real brother and his family on occasion of some function. The total family income of family os around 7 lakh per annum.
Pawan Bahuguna
I don’t have much idea about it. But, if the ban is over, I am confident you can apply again. Just send an email to the embassy for confirmation.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi deep,
If you have submitted fake ITR/Bank statements or bogus employment related docs/create artificial profile in your visa application form and embassy received a local check reports with your inquiry then there is no hope you can get visa for any good country.
After ban Embassy creates a negative report of the applicant with your passport details and visa officers comment what he was found negative/misrepresentation of facts in your visa application that reports submitted in gateway where every embassy checks before issuing a visa to you or anybody.
kulwinder

Hello Pawan,
Thanks for your help and support, I appreciate your help. I have one bad news to share that I have applied online Visitor visa for Business Trip for both me and my wife but Unfortunately I received reply from then just in 17 days that my application got refused.
Here is received letter of visa refusal,
Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada. After a careful review of your temporary resident visa application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. I am refusing your application. In making a decision on an application, a number of factors are considered. These may include but are not limited to:
• the information in the travel and identity documents;
• the reason for the travel to Canada;
• the person’s contacts in Canada;
• the person’s ties to his or her country of residence (including immigration status, employment and family ties);
• the person’s ability to pay for the trip and to support himself or herself while in Canada;
• whether the person is likely to respect the conditions of his or her admission to Canada;
• whether the person is inadmissible to Canada; and
• whether the person would be likely to leave Canada at the end of his/her authorized stay.
To help you understand my decision, the reason(s) are provided on the following pages.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.
Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that any person wishing to become a temporary resident of Canada must satisfy an officer that he or she is not inadmissible to Canada and that she or he meets the requirements of the Act.
Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you application meets the requirements of the Act and the Regulations for the reasons explained below. Please note that only the grounds that are checked off apply to the refusal of your application.
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
1. travel history
2. immigration status in country of residence
3. Family ties in Canada and in country of residence
4. Length of proposed stay in Canada
5. Purpose of visit
6. Employment prospects in country of residence
7. Current employment situation
8. Personal assets and financial status
9. Having a legitimate business purpose in Canada
10. I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds, including income or assets, to carry out your stated purpose in going to Canada or to maintain yourself while in Canada and to effect your departure.
11. You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your / your host’s income and assets.
12. You have made an application for a temporary resident visa in the transit visitor category. As you are planning to remain in Canada longer than 48 hours, you do not meet the requirements of this category.
You must make an application for a temporary resident visa in the visitor category and pay the associated cost recovery fees.
13. You have submitted documentation which lacks authenticity as part of your application. This has diminished the overall credibility of your submission.
14. any history of contravening the conditions of admission on a previous stay in Canada.
15. You have not complied with our request for information, as per section 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. To date, you have failed to comply with our request for:
Completion of a medical examination
An interview
The following documents: List the documents
16. I am not satisfied that you have answered all questions truthfully, as required by subsection 16(1) of the Act. Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful:
17. Other reasons:
Ties to your country of residence.
==========================================================================================================
Refusal for me was based on Point No. 1 , 5 & 9.
Refusal for my wife was based on Point No. 1, 5 & 10.

Purpose of visit : I have mentioned proper itinerary with description, also attached Insurance and Hotel booking receipt.

For Proof Of Fund : I have added CA report with net worth of at least 1 crore. They have not included this point for me but for my wife they have mention this reason, I have shown FDs, and Bank balance, Stocks on her name around 4 lacks, Actually she is just accompanying me and I was suppose to take care of her expenses and all my expenses will be taken care by company as it was business Trip.
I am really not agree on whatever reason they have given, They given result just in 17 days, What should I do now? Which think I have to take care if I have to apply again, Really seek your assistance guys.
Regards
Pawan Bahuguna
Looks like they are not convinced that you will return back. How much money did you show for yourself? Like you will also travel to different famous place and company won’t be paying for that.
I think this could be the reason for refusing.
Also, point 9 says “Having a legitimate business purpose in Canada”. Was the invitation not official?
PB
Hello Pawan,
It was an official invitation, and I have shown sufficient balance which is enough even if I travel to some local places.
I ensured that my tentative travel plan and have to join my duty again, But don’t know what went wrong,
Having a legitimate business purpose in Canada, Not sure why they have mentioned this. I have no idea about it.

Generally, If your company has sponsored, they should not have any reason to reject. But, don’t know what went wrong. Could it happen they called your invitee and they were not able to verify it?
Does your employer provided the letter that they are covering all the expenditure and this was an official trip?
PB
Hello Pawan,
Any suggestions for my case?
Please reply.

JASVINDER SINGH
Hi pb,
Canadian entry clearance officer was not satisfied from your travel history, purpose of visit and purpose of business visit while your wife refused with another reason i.e. funds/income/assets. It seems you could not file visa applications properly something was missing in your visa applications you need to understand the refusal letter and prepared yourself accordingly you have need to make good travel history for satisafcation of the officer you both should visit to any schengen country with UK for couple of weeks, Improve your ITR docs with all necessary pages, you have fixed deposits Its good sign make some good bank balance then you can re-apply TRV once again with properly file visa application don’t forget to mentioned UCI number and refused visa application ref number in section (2c) I hope you can convinced the officer this is the case and they grant both of you TRV.

Preeti
Pawan Bahuguna
You have pretty good chances of getting the visa. Hope you have included the reason of your visit.
Preeti
Yupz do u hv any idea about processing time.
Its a holiday for us
Currently status is processed at canada visa centre new delhi.
I wanna know if anyone have experiance of time as im stucked i cant book even my usa tickets.
Pawan Bahuguna
Current processing time is 21 days (Does not include transit time between the VAC and IRCC office). If those much days have been passed, please call or email them.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi preeti,
I think you did not apply TRV under CAN+Program you did not tell to vfs officer at the time of submission that you have a valid US visa and previously traveled to US twice so you and family qualify CAN+Program may be your file submitted as normal method therefore taking too much time or your visa applications are under admin processing it will takes months. if you applied under can+program your application will be decided in 10 days with approval of TRV.
Preeti
Finally Visa in Hand,Thanks for replying to all my queries.
Visa issued on 7th May took only 4 working days in decision but got to know on 11th may.Submitted on 1st may…It was fast process…Finally Another milestone achieved…London,Europe,Australia,USA,Canada gained experiance on all categories?
You doing good work keep it up
Pawan Bahuguna
Great! Congrats and that was really fast. Haven’t heard someone getting the visa so fast.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi preeti,
If you have a valid US B1/B2 visa or previously travels to US without any problem you and your family deserved Canada visa, you will be awarded Canada TRV very soon.
Preeti

For UK europe we put hell lot of papers work but for this one here is what we attached
1)Comapany registeration with a balance of about 5-6 lacs
2)ITR 1st pge of 3 years mine my husband and our company
3)US visa copies
4)Bank statements with few fixed deposits balance in saving was 50_-60k
Ths it no property no bonds nothing is given.
Was thinking to add Cr card pictures but applied in hurry.
So finally done with it…As per online status visa is till 2028 for me as recently got my 3rd passport,husband also 3rd pass and sons 2nd passport.
So all got 10 years visa
Thanks guys for all support.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi preeti,
congratulation for TRV, Its magic of CAN+ Program, if you have A valid US visa or traveled to US in the last 10 years then you have no need of any financial docs to submit with TRV visa application. Canadian visa officer satisfied you are not a threat to Canada.
Newsha P
Hi there,
My parents are senior citizens in Iran and are not working. They are filling out a visitor visa application to come to Canada during the summer months. One of the documents is called Purpose of Travel-Other..it says we must give proof that they are coming to Canada for a temporary visit and we could include forms such as a flight ticket departing canada, a travel itinerary and a proof of a medical appointment.
In my situation what should i scan? i am very confused, please help
Pawan Bahuguna
Purpose of visit is the reason why you are coming to Canada and that you will leave after your work. You can tell them that and can also include roundtrip tickets for that.

Hi simranjeet singh,
If you have no travel history in the past so you have no need to apply for TRV visa as you said you have money and ITR docs these are not strong docs if you want to get TRV you have need to fulfill some homework then you apply TRV.

Naveed khurshid bhat
Sir what would be the documents that I require and how much funds do I need to show for 20 days stay as my food and shelter will be provided by my uncle also is travel history mandatory for visit and what document do my aunt need to show and who will write invitation letter for me,my uncle or my aunt
Pawan Bahuguna
If you have a direct relationship with your Aunt, ask her to write. Travel history is not mandatory though it has its own advantage. All the document which can show your relationship, like the passport or any other document having the maiden name, etc. If you don’t have any document write a ‘letter of explanation’, please check Canada website, they have all the required information.
There is no fixed amount, but keep an average of about $1000/week. The main problem with you looks like your employment.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi bhat,
Its up to you Mr. Bhat, how you can convince the immigration officer that after the visit I would leave to Canada I have genuine purpose of visit to Canada and I have contacts in the Canada and I have family in India, kids, assets held In India and you have a good travel history in the past defenately officer will award you TRV visa without any problem you should prove all these things in your visa application that I have points/intensive that after the visit I would leave Canada.

JASVINDER SINGH
Hi,
you should travel always with a valid passport if you have a visa on expired passport you have need to carry both the passports.
Preeti
No u cant travel passport minimum validity also needs to be 6 months.
Visa is valid but passport is expiring in 4 months.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi,
you can get a new passport before 1 year of expiration date of your current passport, if you have a valid visa on expired passport or near to expiry passport you should carry both the passport at the time of travel.
Naveed khurshid bhat
Sir my aunt’s husband wrote an invitation letter that he is inviting me to canada for visit and he gave me his documents like passport,visa etc but not any proof of my aunt.i showed RS 80000 in my account and I was not employed at that time.Does travel history matters Also how could I show proof of my aunt residing there.kindly guide me in this matter
Pawan Bahuguna
Ask him to provide his documents along with your aunts and their children. Rs.80,000 is not much and if you are not employed it is a worse situation. I was also denied the TRV when I did not have the job and enough money.
They want to see if you can survive by yourself and have enough money to come back after your stay. Also, strong ties with homeland matters.
Naveed khurshid bhat
Hello sir
I applied canada visit visa in jan 2018 but my visa got rejected due to reasons like no travel history,no current employment situation,financial status,no ties to your homeland and in Canada but my aunt lives there as citizen I provided all proof but unfortunately …… Currently I am doing job so kindly tell me what I need to do for reapplying visit visa and what documents do I need to show .
Pawan Bahuguna
How did you prove she is your aunt?
How much money did you showed for this and were you employed that time?
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi, Naveed
you have need to understand the refusal letter which given by officer to you, he was not satisfied from your docs it means you nothing to prove / share with officer that’s why you have been refused if you have a sponsor it does not means TRV will be issued to you gather/collect all the requested docs which officer wanted to see in your visa application application.
Aarti Yadav
Hi Pawan,
I need your help, actually, I’m applying for my families tourist visa on behalf of them. I visited cic website and filled out necessary information, so one checklist got created but problem is that my father and my elder have family tailoring business, but they don’t have business registration license or any certificate but he regularly file nill return for business but my brother hasn’t filed any return
so, my question is that business registration proof is compulsory?
Or can we attach any other documents??
I’m in Canada on open work permit. I’m inviting my family on my husband’s graduation ceremony.
Please help me out in this problem. Your opinion will be helpful for me as earlier also while coming into Canada it helped me.
Thank you
Aarti Yadav
Pawan Bahuguna
Hi Aarti,
That’s the problematic situation. To prove your father and brother are self-reliant, they will need some proof. I think your father will be good as he fills ITR. But, your brother doesn’t.
If I were you. I will write a letter to CIC with my application, explaining why my brother hasn’t filled the ITR yet. Maybe this is due to family business and only father is filling it or maybe your brother has just started to earn.
In my opinion, give honest answer whatever is the situation. And show as much as money possible and family ties to the homeland to make sure they return back.
For business registration, you can explain that it is a small business and maybe doesn’t fall under registration category (not sure though). OR check with your father if registration is required for that business and if they have time, they can register it. I don’t think it will take much time for that.
Aarti Yadav
Thank you so much for your prompt reply..so now I’ll tell them to show that business is small which do not require any registration and I’ll inform my brother to file his individual return.
Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
Pawan Bahuguna
Also, would suggest to once check with CA about business registration and what is the requirement for that.
Aarti Yadav
okay, I will let him know to ask same.
thank you
Aarti Yadav
Hi Pawan,
I have one more question so for my parents should i file visa under super visa for parents category or normal??
and do they require to attach medical check??
Is it compulsory??
Pawan Bahuguna
Super visa requires a medical check, and its processing time is 72 days from India. So, decide accordingly.
But, your brother has to come in normal visa only and medical is for some particular countries only. For India, it is not required.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi, Naveed
you have need to understand the refusal letter which given by officer to you, he was not satisfied from your docs it means you have nothing strong to prove / share with officer that’s why you have been refused if you have a sponsor it does not means TRV will be issued to you gather/collect all the requested docs which officer wanted to see in your visa application.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi aarti,
As you said you are in the Canada on open work permit and inviting her family to join her husband ‘s graduation day so immi officer wants to see variety of the docs from your side, officer will assess how you can afford them in the Canada and what points they have to return back from Canada if you or family members prove they have reason for return back to India then visa officer perhapes grant hen visa other wise its very hard to get visa for them, contact with any genuine ca he will guide you what kinds of the business docs you have need to prove youR father has self employed businessman without evidence/docs it would hard to get TRV.

Hello,
I found this post really helpful,
I seek your help for my visa application, Actually, I receive the invitation to visit Canada from PEI, I am planning to apply for the Business visa, they have also added my wife’s name in invitation letter that she can also come.
What will be my wife’s category it should be as a visitor, not business? Mine is a Business visa.
What kind of documents which I have to include with my application, My company is going to pay for every expense of my trip.
Do I need to show only cash in my bank account as financial document or I can include Mutual funds and FD statements?
How many funds should I show for my visit?
What kind of documents my employer should provide me if I am going behalf of my company?
I got B1 USA visa refusal a few years back from the same company. I didn’t found in forms they have asked to add previous history so should I share that detail proactively or Its fine If I don’t share such information.
I saw that you mentioned one of the document called checklist where we have to upload that document? I am applying from visa application from the online portal.
I really seek your help as I have to file application ASAP.
Waiting for your reply,
Pawan Bahuguna
You will need almost all the documents which are required for the visitor visa, plus your invitation letter from PEI and documents from the company that they are sponsoring you.
There is no minimum requirement for funds, so it depends on how many days you are going to live in Canada including your other expenses like lodging, food, travel, etc.
You can include all the assets you have. The main aim is to make visa officer believe that you are going genuinely and don’t have any aim to remain there.
Yes, your wife will be on TRV, stating she is accompanying you.

JASVINDER SINGH
Hi,
Canada checklist has been changed recently so you can checked properly before submitting your visa application, Its Canadian visa visa officer wanted to see +case if you have a valid US visa or traveled to Canada in the past you have no need to submit any docs with your visa application you should apply CAN+ program.
Ubfx
First of all what is your previous traveling history alone and with wife? did you got business visas of other countries as well in past?
there is option where in application they are asking tricky like if you ever been refused a visa of canada or any other country there you have to mention about your usa refusal read application carefully.. Invitation doesn’t mean a visa you need to show your strong ties to home country and previous travel history plus sufficient funds to get visa
Good Luck
PB
Hello,
Thank you for your response, In my previous history, I traveled to Mauritius and Dubai for vacation only. During my application for the Visitor visa, I have not found any section where they asked about previous refusals. So I am not sure about that.
Pawan Bahuguna
Please check “Background Information” section and point 2. It clearly states “b) have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country”
And if your answers is YES, there is a section to explain it.
Simran
Hi Pawan,
I have applied for visa in last June 2017 for going on convocation to my brother with my parents and we got 6 months TRV but we went in October 2017 in Canada for a month and then our visa got expired and we came back to India though we got 6 months extension at airport.
Here i want to ask that can i apply for visa again to visit Canada for a vacations?
What would be the right time to apply?
Can i apply only for me not for parents this time and can i get it?
I do not have any other strong reason but only vacations.
My age is 28 , single n working in IT co. In finance domain.
Will the above things impact my visa?
Please advise.
Pawan Bahuguna
Every time is the right time, you just have to tell them why you are going and show the required amount of money for your visit. As you have already got TRV earlier, there should not be an issue this time.
Make sure you have proper documents and money for vacation.
Naveen singh
Hi, I traveled Australia 2009 to 2012 near about 3 years on student visa came to India with withdrawing my application from Australia with family reason.

Pawan Bahuguna
Hi Naveen,
Why you want to go to Canada and what you do? And how much money you will be showing for the tourist visa?
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi Naveen,
file your visa application according to latvia embassy checklist you did,nt file your visa application properly Important information is missing in your visa application submitted, you have need to do some more home work before applying schengen visa, I suggest you don’t apply for Canada visa It s very hard visa you wont qualify in present circumstances.
Amer YATIM
Did you have a complete itinerary and plan for visiting Canada?
Actually, yes but i didn’t explain in details.I thought it is a baby and all what matter me is to accompany him with parent, so I only submitted these documents since the purpose of travel was explained in my and his mum application and he is just going with us. Now, in the appeal letter i explained more the purpose of travel and intended date to travel and back.
Amer YATIM
Dear Sirs,
I have been granted and my wife 5 years visitor visa but due to some commitments I didn’t visit Canada. After a while I got a baby and we submitted his documents to the Canadian Embassy to enable him to travel with us during the Christmas and New year Eve , the baby is 5 months old and his application was rejected for below reasons Travel history and Purpose of travel! Is it weird? to refuse a baby of 5 months old requesting a travel history to him? Do you recommend re applying and send letter explaining why we want the baby to accompany us?
Pawan Bahuguna
That’s completely absurd that they rejected the application with those reasons.
Could you please tell what documents did you submit? Did you have a complete itinerary and plan for visiting Canada?
Amer YATIM
Dear Pawan,
Thank you for your quick reply
I submitted below documents:
1- Application Form
2- Family information form
3- Schedule 1 form
4- Financial statement showing a very good amount .
5- Invitation Letter from a good friend to the family in general mentioning our baby name and passport #
6- Birth Cert. and Permission letter signed by Mum and dad and passport of course.
I really got confused! I prepared an appeal letter explaining that this baby has no travel history and we can provide our (father & mother) travel history instead , and explained the purpose of travel with more supportive document such as an employment letter from my company emphasizing that i will travel from this date and return on this date etc…
Did you face such issue?
Pawan Bahuguna
I have not faced such situation till now. But, I think they become sceptical that you will not go to Canada as you didn’t visit earlier and got your Visa. I think if you have shown return tickets and insurance, it could have added some advantage.
JASVINDER SINGH
Hi Amer,
why you have submitted scheduled 1 form with your child’s visa application, you case was crystal clear but you could not file your kids visa application properly. according to your documents submitted it seems you did not submitted your copy of Canada visa and you did not provided a covering letter to Immi officer what is the purpose of visit to Canada and tell them you have been issued Canada visa in the past and you want to travel with new born kid so you have need to filed exactly same visa application with same documentation which you had submitted earlier in Canada High commission for your own visa so some documentation/information were missing in your kids visa application that’s why you have been refused for visa, take some time before reapplying study carefully refusal letter gather all missing documents/information and reapply with confidence they will grant visa to your kids without any problem.
Add documents with your kids visa application like parents passport copies, copy of previously issued your both Canada visa, family air tickets, requested docs of the sponsor and travel health issuance for your family, you have no need to submit financial documents, bank statements, ITR docs, pay slip, employment letter etc with your visa application according to new checklist you are waived off from these financial docs you should apply under CAN+Program for your kids.
