Hi Bryanna / Seniors,


Hope all is well


I have a question regarding children visitor visa.


I want to apply visitor visa for my kids who are 1.5 and 6 years old. Since we(parents) already have Canada TRV but not visited yet and we are planning to visit all together this summer.


Can you please guide me what documents do I need in order to apply for that ?


Where should I upload our travel history and Canada trv visa copy in the online application for kids since they have not any travel history.


What should I mention in the explanation letter as previously while applying our ( parents ) trv we had mentioned that kids were staying with grandparents.


Which is better way of applying online or paper application ?


Any suggestion/useful information is much appreciated

You would need to include the same/similar documents that you had submitted for your TRV applications i.e. proofs of financial resources to pay for a visit for yourselves and the kids + your strong ties to your home country + why you need to return home by a specific date, etc.

You can also include an authorization letter/consent letter signed by the other accompanying parent (who is not applying on behalf of the kids), just in case + copies of passports of both parents.

I'm assuming your older child has been accepted for school (Grade 1). You must include evidence of this (admission + tuition fee receipt + school brochure/website + a letter from the school stating s/he is a bona fide student and is allowed to travel from XX to XX dates if you plan to visit mid-term).

Nothing to be uploaded for travel history as the kids have not traveled abroad. You can submit a cover letter that has your TRVs/UCI Numbers.

Travel plans can change. I would focus on proving that you/your spouse have very strong ties to your home country.

It's a matter of personal preference
