4. Money for the trip

Officers look at whether you can pay for the stay and the return trip without working in Canada.

If someone else pays, name them and be ready to show their proof of funds as well as yours.

5. Background

IRCC officers must be convinced you will leave Canada at the end of the visit. Job, family remaining at home, and property or a lease are the usual ties they weigh. A visitor visa or eTA does not allow you to work or study unless separately authorized. Not legal advice; counsel reviews before filing. IRCC asks for extra consent and custody documents when a minor travels with one parent, another adult, or alone.
