The Canadian government has outlined six key requirements that foreign nationals must meet to be eligible for a visitor visa. Applicants need to show they will leave the country at the end of their stay.
According to the guidelines, prospective visitors must first hold a valid travel document such as a passport. They must also be in good health and have no criminal or immigration-related convictions that would make them inadmissible.
Immigration officials will assess whether applicants have strong ties to their home country, such as employment, a home, financial assets or close family members. Applicants must also prove they have enough money to support themselves during the visit.
In some cases, a medical examination or a letter of invitation from someone in Canada may be required. The visitor visa allows entry for tourism, visiting family or friends, or other short-term purposes.
