Required Funds for a Canada Tourist Visa

For a Canadian tourist visa, you need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your trip. The amount varies depending on the length of stay, your itinerary, and whether you are traveling alone or with dependents.

General Guideline for Funds:

1. Per Day Costs:

o Around CAD 100–200 per day for living expenses, depending on the location and travel style.

2. Minimum Funds:

o For a single visitor, at least CAD 2,500–3,000 is recommended for a short trip (1-2 weeks), excluding airfare.

3. Additional Factors:

o Airfare: Proof of a round-trip ticket or funds to purchase one.

o Accommodation: Prepaid hotel bookings or enough funds to cover lodging.

o Travel Purpose: Funds should match the purpose of your visit (e.g., tourism, visiting family, etc.).

Proof of Funds:

• Recent bank statements (past 4-6 months).

• Proof of income (pay stubs, tax returns).

• Sponsorship letter if someone in Canada is hosting or supporting your trip.

• Evidence of assets or savings.

The exact amount isn't fixed, but ensure it reflects your ability to fund your trip without financial strain.
