What Are the Required Documents for a Canada Visa?
Canada Visitor Visa / Tourist Visa is the best option to explore the country.

issued by a Canadian visa office that is placed in your passport to show that
you have met the requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary

they entered Canada. If the officer authorizes a stay of less than six months,
they will indicate in your passport the date by which you must leave Canada. If
you want to stay longer than your authorized stay, you should apply for an
extension at least 30 days before the authorized end of your stay.

Minor Children Travelling to Canada
Children under the age of 18 are considered minors in Canada. They must
follow the same rules to enter Canada as any other visitor.
Minors who try to enter Canada without the proper documents, or who are
with adults other than their parents or legal guardian(s), will be checked more
closely.
Border services officers are on alert for children who need protection and
check very carefully for missing or runaway children. They may question you
about children who come with you to Canada or question a child who travels
alone. Make sure you have the proper documents with you.
Minor Children Entering Canada As A Visitor
The documents a minor child needs to enter Canada depend on whether the
child is travelling alone or with someone.
If A Minor Child Is Travelling Alone
The child should present:
•
•
•
His own passport
o A parent’s passport, even if the child’s details are included in it,
cannot be used
A copy of his birth certificate, and
A letter of authorization, in English or French if possible, and signed by
both parents or by their legal guardian which lists:
o the parents’ (or legal guardian’s) address and telephone number,
and
o the name, address and telephone number of the adult who will
look after the child in Canada.
If A Minor Child Is Travelling with One Parent Only
The parent should present:
•
•
•
the child’s passport
a copy of the child’s birth certificate, and
a letter of authorization, in English or French if possible, which is signed
by the parent who is not travelling with them and lists:
o the address and telephone number of the parent who is not
travelling, and
o a photocopy of that parent’s signed passport or national identity
card.
If the parents are separated or divorced, and share custody of the child:
•
•
the parent travelling with the child should carry copies of the legal
custody documents.
It is also best to have a letter of authorization from the other parent who
has custody to take the child on a trip out of the country.
Note: The border services officer may not ask to see these documents when
the child enters Canada. However, it is strongly recommended you bring them,
in case that you are. The minor child will not be admitted to Canada if the
officer is not convinced that the parents or legal guardian have authorized his
stay.
