Canada tourist visa: travel documents and plans

For a tourist trip to Canada, prepare an itinerary, budget and accommodation details. If nobody is hosting you, explain your independent travel plans instead of creating an artificial invitation.

Checks before you apply

A tourism application should explain the itinerary, duration, budget and plans to leave at the end of the visit. There is no reason to invent relatives or an invitation for a tourist trip. IRCC processing times vary by country and change; a guaranteed 30–50-day turnaround is inappropriate.

Preparing your document file

Use this list for an initial review. Submission requires the current checklist from the relevant consulate or authority, taking account of nationality and country of residence.

  • Compare passport details and check your eligibility to apply in the chosen country.
  • Check the current form and requirements for photographs, translations and the submission method.
  • Realistic itinerary and intended dates, accommodation plans and budget.
  • Evidence of funds, current activities and reasons to return relevant to your circumstances.
  • Documents and digital files under the personalised IRCC checklist; biometrics if required.

Getting started with EUROWIZA

  1. Tell EUROWIZA your destination, purpose, nationality, country of lawful residence and intended dates.
  2. Clarify the available assistance and document list; agree on the service scope and price before paying.
  3. Compare the completed file with the official instructions. Keep appointment, payment and submission confirmations.

Planning time and costs

First check available appointments and the authority’s published processing times. Allow time to collect documents, obtain translations and address further requests. Confirm EUROWIZA service charges separately from government fees, insurance and other expenses. The competent authority decides the application; preparing documents does not guarantee issuance by a particular date.

Questions and answers

Must I buy tickets before a decision?

Non-refundable spending before a decision carries a risk. Prepare truthful travel plans and follow any specific IRCC request for supporting evidence.

How long are the visa and each stay valid?

Visa validity is not the length of every visit. Conditions and duration of admission are determined when entering Canada; the same period cannot be promised to everyone.
