Immigration officers consider several things before they decide if you can come to Canada. You must be a real visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of your visit. An officer will look at these things when you apply:
-
your ties to your home country,
-
the purpose of your visit,
-
your family and finances,
-
the overall economic and political stability of your home country, and
-
an invitation from a Canadian host.
You must also:
-
prove that your child or grandchild in Canada meets a minimum income threshold,
-
provide a written statement from that child or grandchild that he or she will give you financial support,
-
have valid Canadian medical insurance coverage for at least one year and
-
have an immigration medical exam.
