I don't have a job right now but I have savings and I'm going to see a football match for the world cup. Is that ok?

Hi Marco! That sounds fun.

Yes, it’s possible. Canada wants to see you can realistically afford your trip (flights, stay, daily expenses). If you’re being supported by someone else, you can include a sponsor letter plus their financial proof, or if you're relying on savings, you must show bank account statements.

The key is a consistent story: trip length, budget, and documents should match realistic daily costs. We review your proof of funds to make sure it fits your plan.

Hi Aisha!

An invitation letter isn’t mandatory for every applicant, but it can strengthen your file if you’re staying with family or friends.

It should include your host’s full name, status in Canada (citizen/PR/work permit), address, contact details, your relationship, visit dates, and a short note confirming where you’ll stay. We’ll tell you if it’s recommended for your case and help you format it clearly.

Questions?

Apply as early as possible — ideally 2–4 months before travel, or earlier during peak seasons. Processing times vary by country and biometrics appointments can add extra days or weeks.

After submission, the Canadian authorities may:

  • Request biometrics (if required) and ask you to book a VAC appointment

  • Ask for extra documents

  • Schedule an interview in rare cases

  • Issue a decision once your file is complete

Don't worry, you'll be notified of any changes in your application status or if extra documents are required.

Most visitors can stay up to 6 months per entry. The border officer decides your exact length of stay when you arrive, and may stamp your passport or issue a visitor record with a specific date.
You can do this by logging into your account, either through iVisa (if applied through our platform or app) or the government portal. In your iVisa account, click the “check status and messages” button and the “view my submitted requests” section.

No, an interview is not part of a standard Canada Visitor Visa application.

However, you may be required to attend an interview at the visa office if they have concerns about your application. You will be contacted by the Visa Application Center if this is the case.

This depends on your passport.

  • If your nationality requires a visitor visa, you must apply for a Canada Visitor Visa before traveling.

  • If you’re from an eTA-eligible country, you usually travel with an eTA instead of a visa.

Check your eligibility by clicking “Apply now” on this page and we’ll guide you to the right document.

Report the loss to local police (if stolen) and contact IRCC or your nearest Canadian visa office. Your lost visa becomes invalid, and you’ll need to apply for a new Canada Visitor Visa with a new passport.
