  • You may also need an eTA if you arrive by air. An eTA is not a warranty of entering into the country, it is an authorization to travel to the country. The border agent at the border has the last word to allow you to enter or not.
  • A detailed schedule of your visit will help. The more detailed the better.
  • If you are visiting a relative, an invitation letter will help a lot.
  • Funds, you will need to show you are carrying with enough money to spent for the time you want to be in the country.
  • Any documentation that shows ties to your home country will be useful, you need to demonstrate you will exit Canada

Usually, a tourist is allowed to stay in the country for six months unless otherwise specified.
