No, because a roundtrip ticket to Canada, depending on the origin, can cost around $1500 on average. That means half of your savings went to airfare alone.

1 person, what if change it to 1 week stay then? will it be enough to convince visa officer (in terms of budget).
Dont know when you planning this but currently minimum stay due to COVID for a visit is 15 days , 14 days of which would be in isolation. That assumes of course you are an immediate family member of a PR or citizen.

Maybe best for now to apply when restrictions are lifted maybe later in year at rate things are goind with COVID

approx $1500 for flight ticket, ~$700 for hotel = $2200

$800 for food and transpo (public transpo?)

don't you think its enough?
Hopefully those aren't your life savings?

You're not going to get a TRV if you blow your life savings on a trip to Canada. In IRCC's eyes, that's a surefire avenue to illegal overstay and work in Canada.

If you're talking about the savings to show as your proof of finances, I personally recommend showing at least $10,000 in bank accounts.

Some people only declare their "budget" for the trip in this part but show the rest of their bank accounts amounting to over $10,000+.

A recommendation a few of us go by in this forum is to show *at least* $1000 per week of stay in Canada, plus the cost of roundtrip air fare. So for a 2-week trip, $4000 is a comfortable budget. It's not a hard rule, $1000/week is indeed very generous.
