Canada Visit Visas

A visit visa is issued for visiting purposes, which lasts up to six months.

You need to be qualified as a tourist to Canada and have plenty of money to cover your expenses. There will be documentary proof of bank statements and property papers.

If your Canadian sponsor is also taking responsibility for your tour expenses, then there may be a visa without a lengthy statement.

When granting a visitor visa, the visa officer has to confirm that the visitor will return to the office within a certain period of time. If you prove your strong economic and social relations with Pakistan, then visa will confirm without an interview.

If you understand these two points and come across them, then neither country will be a problem for you visa. Having a strong economic relationship with your country means staying here, having a property, a business or a good job.

The other point is strong family relationships, it means that you have a regular family in Pakistan without which you cannot stay outside and you have to come back. That means mom, dad, sister.
