Online Application for a Temporary Resident Visa.
September 23rd, 2023.

Dear Sir/Ma,
APPLICATION FOR A TOURIST VISA TO CANADA

Purpose for Visit

I wish to apply for a tourist visa to Canada. My primary purpose of travelling, is for my
vacation to engage in tourism activities and to explore the country’s diverse landscapes, and
cultural heritage. I have always been captivated by the natural beauty and vibrant cities that
Canada had to offer.
Canada is widely recognized as a safe and welcoming country for travellers. It has a well-
developed tourism infrastructure, reliable transportation systems, and a reputation for being
hospitable towards visitors. I am intrigued by the multicultural fabric of Canada, where
people from various ethnic backgrounds coexist harmoniously. I plan to immerse myself in
the Canadian culture, interact with locals during my stay and broaden my horizons.
I feel confident that I will have a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience in Canada, and
later return home with a renewed sense of adventure.
I am a responsible and law-abiding citizen of Nigeria and I possess a strong commitment to
adhering to the laws and regulations of any country. I have meticulously planned this trip,
ensuring that all necessary arrangements, including accommodation and transportation, are in
place.

Flight and hotel details

My trip to Canada is scheduled to commence on 3 rd of December 2023, and I will be
travelling with Delta Airlines from Nigeria. I will arrive Canada, same day. My departure
from Canada is on 17th of December 2023 and I will be arriving Nigeria the next day.
For my time of stay in Canada, I have made hotel booking at: Best Western Milton, Toronto
located at 161 Chisholm Drive, Milton, Ontario. I chose this hotel, because it is conveniently
located close to the airport and it is easily accessible to the city through public transportation.
In addition, it has nice rooms and excellent amenities which includes a fitness place, beautiful
restaurants and free Wi-Fi.

Below, is my itinerary of planned activities for the duration of my stay in Canada, which is
14nights.

Significant ties to Nigeria

I would like to state that I have solid ties to Nigeria both in terms of my job and family
members I am employed as a Sales Manager at Aurora Spring Konsult and services Limited
and my role within the organization involves meeting and exceeding sales goals, generating
leads, negotiating prices with customers. As an essential staff of the company, my role
requires my presence and active participation in the day-to-day operations of the business.
However, I have been granted leave from my employer to take a vacation in Canada. This
temporary break from work will allow me to recharge and explore new experiences in
Canada. My connection to Nigeria remains intact and serves as a significant motivation for
my return.
Additionally, my other ties in Nigeria is my family. My immediate family including my
parents, siblings, and other relatives, resides in Nigeria. These close familial bonds provide
me with a sense of belonging and emotional support. Given my strong family ties, it is highly
unlikely for me to consider staying back in Canada after my vacation is completed. My
commitment to my coupled with my deep-rooted connections to my family in Nigeria, makes
my return to Nigeria a natural and inevitable choice.
Furthermore, I own fixed assets in terms of landed property and a house. These assets serves
as significant ties to my home country. I have attached the relevant documents to my
application.

Sponsorship:
My trip and expenses will be supported and funded by me. I am gainfully employed with
Aurora Spring Konsult and Services Limited and I have been able to save money towards this
trip. With my meticulous planning, I have an available balance of about NGN9,000,000 (Nine
million, naira) in my bank account and I firmly believe that this sum will be more than
sufficient to cover all my anticipated expenses during my stay in Canada.
I have submitted the following documents for your kind consideration on my application:

 Fully completed application form.

 Data page of my International passport.

 Employment confirmation/ Reference letter, Leave Letter.

 Hotel and flight reservations.

 Age Declaration.

 Statement of account .

 ETC.
I understand the importance of complying with laws and regulations of Canada during my
stay. I will depart, at the end of my stay and return to my home country Nigeria, to attend to
my family and work. I trust that you will find my application in order. Do not hesitate to
contact me, if you need further assistance or clarifications.

Best regards ,
