Agreeing the duration of a family visit
Discuss how long you genuinely plan to stay and what brings the visit to an end. The proposed dates, accommodation and funding should fit the applicant’s actual circumstances.
An invitation for an open-ended visit can leave important questions unanswered. Review the arrangement with the host before finalising the application, and consider the separate Super Visa requirements if relevant.
Before contacting us from Patna
Have your nationality, proposed dates, travel purpose and whether a Canadian host is involved ready for the initial discussion. Ask what assistance is included and what the charges are before proceeding. Keep original documents with you unless a specific next step has been agreed.
Our document checklist explains the main record groups. The application process covers submission, official instructions and later requests.
