Application procedure

As if described in detail the order for which the visa is obtained to Canada, it is still necessary to get acquainted with all the information provided on the site (//www.canadainternational.gc.ca/russia-russie/index.aspx?lang\u003drus) Embassies of Canada in the Russian Federation.

List of necessary documents

The task consists not only to provide general information about yourself. Upon receipt of a visa to Canada, it is necessary to justify the purpose of your trip and the most important thing is that after it will be pretended to return to the homeland. For this purpose, in addition to the main documents listed below, a mass of additional references and copies of documents will be required, the purpose of which is to convince the employee of the consulate in the fact that there are weighty arguments that you will definitely return to your country. The basis for the package of documents is the standard list, in fact the same for obtaining a visa to any country of the world, with clarification, that in the case of visiting Canada, the papers will need more.

• Passport effective for another six months on the start date of the planned trip to Canada;
• A copy of all significant pages of passport and visas that are presented in it;
• Filled IMM 5257 (or);
• Filled family questionnaire (or);
• Compiled questionnaire with additional information (in English //www.canadainternational.gc.ca/russia-russie/visas/52_2.aspx?lang\u003dEng or French //www.canadainternational.gc.ca/russia-russie/visas/52_2 .aspx? lang \u003d FRA language);
• Photos in 2 copies that comply with the requirements of the consulate (requirements can be studied);
• Receipt of payment of the consular fee;
• Confirmation of armor for travel documents, plane tickets or any other type of transport where Canada will be carried out and departure from it;
• Detailed indication of the route of travel or visit (armor in hotels, letters from friends or relatives who will have the applicant);
• In the event of a visit to Canada at the invitation (working visa, student visa, visit to relatives), the original or copy of the invitation with the indication of details and information about the inviting party is required. For a training visa, a copy of the contract or invitations from the school is required. Working and business visa requires an official invitation from an enterprise, firm or companion from the Canadian side;
• A copy of all previous passports. The more visas and marks about visiting countries, the better.

Questionnaires are provided in the form of PDF files in which you can fill in the necessary fields and check the required items. Fill out the questionnaire is necessary in the appropriate language on which it is framed by using its own knowledge of the language or services of the translation agency. Questionnaires need to be printed, sign by the applicant personally and confirm the accuracy of filling with seals from the translation or notary bureau. Incomplete questionnaires will definitely cause refusal to consider submitted documents.

The photo must be performed on a light background with a clear looking face without glare, illumination or dimming. It is necessary to take pictures that the shoulders are visible, and the forehead and hairstyle did not overlap. Photo size - 3.5x4.5 cm with smooth corners. It is important that no corrections are conducted, that is, no digital processing. When photographing, you can use makeup, and wigs, but just so as not to modify the face and the overall appearance.

Having chosen one of the methods of payment proposed when filling out the application or contacting the visa center, it is important to strictly observe all the recommendations and requirements that are presented in both cases. First, if not compared to the collection, the collection will not be returned and the documents will not take for consideration, secondly, it is important to keep the receipt and make it a copy. A copy of the receipt is attached to the document package, and the original remains in the applicant, because it will indicate the code for which you can track the status of consideration of documents and design a visa at a visa portal or on the Consulate website.

Depending on the results obtained after filling out online applications, there may be some more required points in the list of documents.:

• Medical reference. And not just a certificate, but a doctor's report in the eMedicine electronic system on conducting research and the results of the fluorogram. Find out the contact details of doctors in Russia, which are engaged in a similar one on the page //www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx. Pre-recording will be required.
• Confirmation of the applicant's solvency to cover all possible costs during their stay in the country. This is a very extensive question. It can be limited to a standard wage certificate, moreover for the year, and not half a year, as usual, made on the enterprise forms and behind its seals. For private entrepreneurs, founders and managers, firms need to be an extract from accounting, tax and necessarily data on the registration of the company. The second confirmation will be a certificate of bank account status, a receipt confirming the purchase of currency. It is only bad that anywhere does not indicate the necessary minimum cost per day, therefore it is worth clarifying the current importance in the visa center.

In the absence of income, for example, the student needs all the same documents and a letter about sponsorship from parents or the closest relatives, with confirmation of related links. When paying the trip at the expense of the company - the official and certified letter from the employer that he takes on all the costs of the trip. Pensioners are a certificate of pension calculations.

Further options for substantiation of their material security are the next point of the list of documents.

• Confirmation that the applicant will return to his homeland. For employees, a certificate is suitable for holidaying for the entire period of stay in Canada, advertising avenues or any other information about a company or an enterprise that the applicant works, a letter from the employer with a capacious characteristic. Copies of ownership documents real estate (A copy of purchase and sale contracts, copies of technical passports, etc.), the same for cars or other weighty things.
• Certificate of family composition and possibly their welfare, the presence of children, etc. All this is displayed in the questionnaire about the family composition, but it is desirable to reinforce this with the relevant documents (a copy of the marriage certificate, the birth of children, etc.)

If it is decided to visit Canada only for the purpose of tourism, it is necessary to prepare for a scrupulous verification and a sufficiently long procedure for processing documents. In this case, you will need to collect as much as possible confirmations about the applicant's well-being and his huge desire to return after the trip to your native country.

In the case of an invitation or presence in the hands of documents confirming the availability of an agreement with the educational institution, detailed and detailed information on the purpose of arrival and confirmation from the inviting part is necessary.

The same applies to the business visa along with a working visa. It is important to receive an invitation to the company letter from the inviting part or from companions in Canada and indicating the reasons why a specialist must arrive in the country.

If visiting Canada is associated with the invitation from relatives, then the guest visa can be not only one-time, as a tourist, but also a multiple visa, especially if we are talking about visiting by parents or grandmothers, grandfathers of their children and grandchildren. The most attractive option is a visa to visit Canada for up to 24 months without the need for extension. It is important to provide the most detailed and complete package of related documents and attach an invitation from Canada.

Important! If the visa documents are submitted through the visa center, then you must fill out and provide for your own signature. Without this form, the visa center has no right to transfer documents to the consulate, and they will all be returned to the applicant. It is clear that the visa collection paid before this is no longer returned.

Visa minor

For persons under the age of 18, it will be necessary to issue their own passport, even for a child 3-6 months from the genus and, accordingly, get a visa to Canada. Old options for passports with inscribed children will not fit. Documents prepare and fills the profiles of the parent or official guardian, attaching all the data about themselves. In the event of a child's traveling, only one parent is important to prepare a statement from the second parent and must assure notaries.

Transit visa

A transit visa is needed if it is necessary through the territory of Canada to get into another country. Such a visa gives the right to be in the country no longer than 48 hours. The design requires the minimum package of documents and confirm the reservation of the tickets for the alleged route.

Visa to immigration

A citizen of Canada or a permanent resident of this country can be a sponsor to his relatives for immigration, the visa of the bride and questions about the reunification of the family also belong to this option. The main focus on the design of an immigration visa in this case to go to the inviting partythat must collect documents and agree on all problems with the migration service as well as make all the necessary fees and payment. All the necessary information can be found in English at //www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp.

For those who want to settle in Canada on an ongoing basis, there is such an opportunity without related ties. The main thing is that this is the conformity of professional skills and experiences with those that are currently requested in the country. On the website of the Canadian Embassy can always be familiar with the nuances of immigration, especially considering that each province on this issue there are excellent views. More details can be found at //www.canadainternational.gc.ca/russia-russie/visas/immigrate-immigrer.aspx?lang\u003drus. A working visa is needed to Canada, and naturally requires an invitation and a contract with a future employer.
