  • Valid Passport
      • Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned stay in the U.S.
      • Each applicant (including children) needs their own passport.
  • DS-160 Confirmation Page
      • This is the online visa application form. Submit it and print the confirmation page with the barcode.
  • Visa Fee Payment Receipt
      • Proof that you’ve paid the non-refundable visa application fee (usually $185 USD).
  • Passport-Size Photo
    • Uploaded during the DS-160 process.
    • If it doesn’t upload, bring a printed photo as per U.S. photo requirements.
  • Proof of Financial Means
      • Bank statements, salary slips, tax returns, or financial sponsorship (if someone else is paying for your trip).
  • Ties to Your Home Country
      • Job letter, property documents, family connections—anything that shows you plan to return home after your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work or study in Canada on this visa?
Nope. A tourist visa is just for visiting. You can’t work or do long-term courses. However, you might be able to take a short course (under 6 months).
Can I extend my stay once I’m there?
Yes, but you’ll need to apply for a visitor record at least 30 days before your current visa expires.
Do I need a return ticket?
Yes, but there are rules. If you want to change within the first 6 months, you’ll usually need permission from your current provider. You must also make sure the new course or school is registered with CRICOS and still meets visa requirements.
What if my visa gets rejected?
You can definitely apply again. But first, try to understand why it was rejected and fix those issues in your next application.
What increases my chances of getting the visa?
You’ll want to show:
Strong reasons to return home (job, family, etc.)
A clear travel purpose
Enough money to support your stay
Proper documents and no missing info
