My question regarding the purpose of travel. In this option, we submit the real ticket and hotel booking with application or what to do.
The second question is if I make the 10 days travel itinerary then can I stay more than 10 days?
Please share your experience with us.

You must submit proof that you are coming to Canada for a temporary visit.
Examples of what you can provide as proof:
A scanned copy of:
  • Your flight ticket departing Canada,
  • Your travel itinerary (e.g. places you will visit or stay, such as hotel booking),
  • Proof of a medical appointment.

You don’t buy airfare but show the itinerary. IRCC states not to do that until approved. When you enter, CBSA can tell you and stamp your passport with a length of visit. Can be 10 days, any date they stamp on passport and if they don’t, then 6 months. You will know when you enter Canada and clear immigration.

How long do you really plan to come to Canada? If not stamped, then you can stay up to 6 months. As for funds, is it just you. You have to factor in airfare, accommodations, food and other expenses. You need to show that you can support yourself in Canada without using all your savings.

So you are not a true visitor. So if CBSA knows you are entering to find work, you could be denied entry. Get your TRV first. You do know the process for a work permit?

Make sure you bring enough money with you to live in Canada for 6-8 months without working since the LMIA and work permit processing takes a while (this assumes you're successful in finding a job).

To get a visa, you need to show travel history (UK, US, NZ, AUS), strong ties to home country (spouse, children, job, business, investments, property), funds and reasons to travel.

Thanks for your response. Means it is not right to come as visitor and change to work visa.
You cannot change to a work visa. You need a job offer with an approved LMIA. The employer has to file for the LMIA proving no Canadian or PR can do the job, only you. There is paperwork and takes time so once filed, the employer waits for a LMIA. Then once approved, you apply for a closed work permit. Depending on the job, you may need IELTS and ECA for education. You may or may not get an approved LMIA, and even then your work permit may be refused. Where were you planning on searching for work and where would you be staying? Can you afford to live in Canada for 10-12 months without a job if you don't find an employer willing to go through the LMIA process?

But if your job is working with people in customer service then you may need IELTS. Depending on the NOC, you may need ECA. You can only stay up to 6 months if CBSA allows you to. You may be able to extend a TRV once in Canada, but it can be refused. You are trying to live in Canada, not visit. To get a TRV, you need to show ties to return to home country - spouse/child, job letter with approved leave, investments, business, properties etc. Canada is expensive so not sure how much you are budgetting? What city?

TRV change to work permit or not
A TRV and a work permit are two different visas. You cannot "change" a TRV into a work permit. You apply for the work permit separately.

No. Already told you the process above. Once you have a LMIA, you apply for a work permit which has different criteria. Depending on the NOC, you need to show you have the experience to do the job (employment letters, ECA). Again where are you visiting to look for work, and what type of work?
