🇨🇦 Canada Visit Visa Document Checklist - 1. Application Forms & Identity

- Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409), if applicable.
- Proof of Paid Visa Fees: Receipt for the application processing fee and the biometric fee.
- Photographs: Two recent passport-sized photos meeting Canada’s specific requirements (usually 50 mm x 70 mm).
- Biometrics: You will need to provide your fingerprints and photo at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) after you submit your application and receive a Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL).
- 2. Financial Stability (Proof of Funds)
- You must prove you have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Canada and return home.

- 3. Purpose of Travel and Ties to Home Country
- You must convince the officer that your visit is temporary and you have strong reasons to return to the UK.
- Cover Letter: A signed letter that clearly explains the purpose of your visit, the exact dates of your travel, where you will stay, and confirms your intent to leave Canada at the end of your authorised stay.

- Proof of Property Ownership (title deeds or mortgage statements).
- Proof of Family Obligations (birth or marriage certificates).
- 4. Special Circumstances
- Letter of Invitation (If visiting friends/family): A letter from your host in Canada that includes their contact info, status in Canada (e.g., PR card copy), the relationship, and how they will assist you.

Sounds like a really straightforward process, especially liking the mention of help with paperwork – I found a similar overview of travel requirements on https://tinyfun.io/game/serenitrove which was also useful. Will definitely keep Alpha Travel in mind when planning a trip.
