To visit Canada, you must:

  • be in good health,

  • convince an immigration officer that you have ties—such as a job, home, financial assets or family—that will take you back to your home country,

  • convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit, 

  • have enough money for your stay. (The amount of money you will need can vary. it depends on things like how long you will stay, and whether you will stay in a hotel or with friends or relatives. To find out more, ask the visa office that serves you're the country or region where you live.)

 

You may also need a:

  • temporary resident (visitor) visa, depending on your citizenship(see Find out if you need a visa),
