Let’s analyze how you can improve your chances of obtaining your Canada visitor visa.

Research

If you have decided that your next vacation destination is Canada, the next step is to research places in Canada that align with your expectations and budget. A vacation in Toronto or Vancouver could be more expensive than one in Calgary or Ottawa. Either way, these cities have their unique experience that will still provide that unforgettable experience. This is why researching these destinations will help you plan appropriately regarding cost, accommodation, expectations, etc. MyCanadaStay.com can help you gather detailed data about your chosen cities to help you make informed decisions. (This is one of the services we provide that immigration lawyers/immigration consultants do not have time to action for you)

Cost Analysis

You can generate an accurate cost for your trip using the data we can provide. This will help you determine the savings you should have in your bank account or any means of financial verification specified by Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada - IRCC. Once you have the figures, multiply the total cost by 2 and ensure that is what you should have in your bank account. Remember, this task aims to help the immigration officer understand that you have more than enough money to support yourself. Click here to visit the IRCC site.

Statement of Purpose

Many applicants ignore this aspect of the application, though it is optional; it could also be the game-changer in your application. The statement of purpose is an opportunity for you to explain to the officer that you understand why you are coming to Canada, your obligation, and your intent to leave Canada as specified.
