🇨🇦 Canada Visitor Visa (TRV)
For tourism, family visits, business visitor travel and other temporary visits requiring a visitor visa.
Common evidence to prepare.
Airvia should create a profile-specific checklist rather than ask every applicant for the same documents.
- Digital copy of a valid passport/travel document and marked visa/stamp pages
- Personalised IRCC document checklist generated by the portal
- Purpose of travel and itinerary
- Bank statement / proof of funds; IRCC examples refer to about 6 months of account details
- Employment letter and work evidence where relevant
- Travel history / previous visas where relevant
- Invitation letter for family/business visits where relevant
- Proof of relationship to host where relevant
- Accommodation / flight / event information where relevant
- Family Information form if required by the personalised checklist
- Biometrics if required
- Minor travel-authorisation documents where applicable
Different applicants need different proof.

Travel purpose, itinerary, finances, employment/ties and travel history.
Family visit
Invitation, relationship proof, host details, finances and return circumstances.
Business
Business invitation, employer/company evidence, meeting purpose and foreign source of income.

Official information to note.
IRCC currently lists a CAD $100 visitor-visa fee and CAD $85 individual biometrics fee where biometrics are required. Documents vary by purpose and the personalised portal checklist.
Review before submission.
- Weak evidence that the applicant will leave Canada after the visit
- Insufficient or inconsistent finances
- Incomplete personalised checklist
- Purpose of visit not supported by itinerary/invitation
- False or unverifiable documents / misrepresentation

Before you apply
Does submitting all documents guarantee a visa?
No. Only the government authority can make the decision.
Can the checklist change for a salaried, self-employed or sponsored applicant?
Yes. The relevant evidence changes with the applicant's circumstances, funding and purpose.
Should I hide a previous refusal?
No. Answer immigration-history questions accurately. Previous decisions should be reviewed and disclosed as required by the application.
