Materials and procedures for American students to apply for a Canadian visa

I also study in America. Please get to the point:

1. passport (needless to say. . . I have an old passport, so I can send it without it. )

2.20 Interstate I-20, as an extremely important immigration document, is the second most important document after passport. Before sending the signature, I-20 needs to have a valid travel signature (as we all know, you should sign it when you leave the United States, and it is valid for one year, and you don't need to sign it before it expires). Our school is an international research center and is responsible for international students. Every school is different, as everyone should know.

3. Real estate license. Bank statement issued by Bank of America will do. Mine is a debit card from Wells Fargo, a checking and savings account, and Lala has a ten-page bank statement. Of course, everything is free, but it doesn't matter without the signature of the bank. The minimum requirement in official website is 1000 yuan. Of course, the more deposits, the better. Although the visa will not be refused, the validity of the visa depends on the mood of the visa officer. I put all my money in one card (deposit 10000 US dollars, check 3000 US dollars, anyway, I have to pay rent and tuition, not afraid of much. . . ), having a good property status is probably the reason why I can get a validity period of more than four years. A buddy who applied with me, although there are thousands in the account, is only valid for one year. For these capitalist countries that worship money, personally, the more deposits, the better. It is better to have a very detailed and thick statement, which should kill the visa officer. . . LoL（League of Legends）

4. Visa application form. Official website download (http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/applications/visa.asp), * * There are four forms to be filled in: certificate list (IMM5484), temporary visa application form (IMM 5257), family information (IMM5645) and schedule/kloc-.

Fill in the positive form (IMM5257) truthfully, because the purpose is to travel, so the Canadian contact person does not fill in (none or N/A). Didn't fill in any work experience or anything. The amount of travel preparation can be filled in according to the amount of the certificate of deposit, slightly less (I filled in 10000, of course, it is good to write more). You need to attach your Chinese name (your own and your parents') to fill in the family information. This is required in the form. If the computer can't input Chinese characters, it can be copied to a USB flash drive. The computer in our school can set Chinese input. ) Schedule 1 basically no, it's not very important, so you don't need to fill in the last part. After the above three forms are completed and submitted successfully, barcodes will be automatically generated and printed together. Don't forget to sign your name in all necessary places. Print the checklist directly and just cross it out, so that you can check the information with the visa officer.

5. report card. The information I found on Baidu before is that visa officers don't read transcripts, so it's better to put them in. In my case, the visa officer opened the envelope and read the report card, but the envelope was not returned to me. In any case, the report card is also a powerful material to prove your learning status, and it is still necessary.

6. Read the certificate. It should be called learning certification. Mine is a thin piece of paper, but it has the signature of the school on it. This is free (the report card is charged). Transcripts and attendance certificates should be in the school registration office. It is also necessary to take a driver's license test. Students should be familiar with it.

7. Two photos. Although there are no photos in the Canadian visa, two copies (which should be for filing) should be submitted. See here for photo requirements: http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/applications/photos-cit.asp The photo width is the same as that of the standard passport photo, but the length is slightly shorter. Students with passport photos can just cut it short as required. As for those without photos, like my buddy, I found a white wall and took photos of him myself. Let the roommate PS to the required size, and then go to school to print the copy plus on cardboard, as long as 80 cents. (Of course, you can also go to Wal-Mart or a drugstore. I heard that it costs ten dollars and eight dollars. . . Write your name and birthday on the back of the photo.

8. Visa fee. You have to pay for doing things. Single visa to 75 yuan, multiple visas 150 yuan (it is recommended to spend more money to sign multiple visas). Pay or buy postal money orders online. I haven't studied online payment. I went directly to the post office (USPS) and bought a draft (banks can also buy it), with a handling fee of 1%. Fill in the name and address of the other party and yourself according to the format on the money order. Part of it is your own stub, just tear it off and keep it for yourself. In fact, when you buy a money order, someone will teach you how to fill it out.

The above eight items are necessary materials. I also put a copy of my passport and I-20, and they were returned intact. It shouldn't be useful. I don't have a plane ticket or a boat ticket, which makes no difference. In a word, if you prepare the above materials, there is no reason to refuse the visa.
