Notes by nationality

The Canadian visitor visa requires biometrics and a clear financial file. Holders of a valid US visa may benefit from streamlined handling in some cases.

Documents required

  • Exact requirements (passport validity, bank statements, insurance, photos) vary by embassy and nationality; we confirm them when preparing your file
  • Completed DS-160 form with its confirmation number
  • Paid application fee and a booked interview appointment
  • Bank statements and proof of income
  • Employer letter
  • Evidence of ties to your country of residence (property, family, employment)
  • Previous travel history, if any

Expected processing time

Timing depends on interview appointment availability, which can run weeks or months, then a few days after the interview to receive the passport. Start very early.

Photo requirements

A photo to the embassy's exact specification, sent to you when applying. Men: no shemagh. Women: hijab permitted with the face clearly visible.

Before you apply

  • Answer the DS-160 accurately and consistently; it's reviewed at the interview
  • Bring proof of home ties: employment, family, property
  • Hold off on confirmed bookings until the visa is issued

Important

The decision to grant a visa rests entirely with the embassy or competent authority. Our role is to prepare and follow the file correctly; we do not guarantee approval. The requirements listed are guidance and can change, we confirm the final checklist for your nationality and destination before submission.
