To get a Canadian visa you must meet the main criteria, namely:

• a valid international passport; being in good health;
• having no criminal convictions or violations of the immigration legislation of Canada;
• having strong ties with the country of origin or residence (employment, home, financial assets, family);
• having intentions to leave Canada, your trip their having ended;
• having enough money to cover your expenditures while staying in Canada (its amount depends on your stay duration and place of living in Canada).

In some cases an immigration officer can ask you to submit the medical examination results and a letter of invitation from a person, residing in Canada.

Please, beware that you can fill in an application and apply for a visa both on-line and in the visa centre of Canada, although the former way has some advantages.
