  • 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.
