Applying for a Canada visitor visa might seem simple, but many people face rejection. In 2024, the number of rejected applications increased significantly.
To improve your chances of approval, follow these important tips:

1. Complete Your Application Properly
When applying online, you need to fill out the correct forms, including:
- Application for Temporary Resident Visa (IMM 5257)
- Family Information Form (IMM 5707 or IMM 5645)
- Other forms (if needed), like Common-Law Union Declaration (IMM 5409) or Use of Representative (IMM 5476)
Make sure all forms are fully filled out and accurate. If something does not apply to you, write “Not Applicable” or “NA.”

2. Submit All Required Documents
The required documents depend on the reason for your visit. You may need:
- Passport
- Two passport-sized photos
- Proof of financial support (e.g., bank statements)
- Travel itinerary (plans for your trip)
- Letter of invitation (if visiting family or friends)
- Employment details
- Travel history
Sometimes, you may need a medical exam, an interview, or a police certificate. Also, ensure you pay the visa processing fee.

3. Show Strong Ties to Your Home Country
You must prove that you plan to return home after your visit. Immigration officers look at:
- Job confirmation letter
- Family responsibilities (children, spouse, elderly parents)
- Property ownership (land, house, rental agreements)
- Financial assets

4. Prove You Can Afford Your Trip
You need to show that you have enough money for your stay. Submit:
- Recent bank statements
- Pay slips
- Job confirmation letter
- Proof of assets (e.g., property, investments)
If someone else is paying for your trip, include their support letter and financial proof.

5. Clearly Explain the Purpose of Your Visit
Immigration officers want to know why you are visiting Canada. Provide documents like:
- Wedding invitation (if attending an event)
- Holiday booking details
- Return flight ticket
- Full travel plan

6. Provide Medical Proof (if needed)
Your visa can be rejected for health reasons if your condition is seen as a public health risk or a burden on healthcare services. If required, submit:
- Medical examination report
- Doctor’s letter explaining your condition

7. Solve Any Criminal Record Issues
If you have a criminal record, you might be inadmissible to Canada. However, you can still apply by:
- Getting a Temporary Resident Permit
- Applying for Criminal Rehabilitation
- Seeking Legal Advice

8. Be Honest About Your Travel History
If you have overstayed in another country or had a visa refusal before, be honest about it. You should:
- Explain what happened
- Provide documents showing you followed visa rules in later travels
Lying or hiding information can lead to a visa refusal and a five-year ban.

9. Resolve Any Residency Issues Before Applying
If you live in a country illegally, your visa application is more likely to be rejected. Before applying, fix any residency issues and provide proof that you will return home after visiting Canada.
New Changes in Canada Visitor Visa Rules (2024)

- Visa duration (short-term or long-term)
- Single-entry or multiple-entry visas
Decisions are based on:
- Purpose of visit
- Available funds
- Need for medical treatment
- Other important factors
By following these tips and being well-prepared, you can increase your chances of getting your Canada visitor visa approved!
