Sorry, i need help. In the purpose of visit section of the form IMM5257E, there's a space for "name of person/institution, relationship, address, that i will visit", i just find it confusing as to what i put in there? Because i just put tourism in the purpose of visit and not "family visit" and i don't have a relative in Canada. What should i put? :( :-[ Thank you very much.

Then do you have an invitation from someone? If not, then you need to put N/A.

You might want to submit a letter too to explain where you'll be staying, amount of money you have for your visit (tourism).

Hi

If it put NO instead of NA will it be acceptable.
N/A is not recommended.... because it can stand for Not Applicable or for Not Available, both have different implications.

Leave it blank is the best option.

"No" is acceptable.

I've been using N/A on the forms I fill up since 2008... and no problem with it. :)
