Ever looked at a map? Canada is the second largest country in the world..
Even walking to my letterbox and back to the house takes me 10 minutes.

Itinerary makes no sense. How are you getting around and have you looked at travel times? Do you have camping equipment? How are you getting to Banff? So you are flying from Ottawa to Calgary…not always direct flights. A Banff trip alone with all you want to do, airfare, food and transportation can cost up to $10k. My family of 3 went to Whistler for 5 days to ski and it cost around $8k.

Why are you really coming to Canada? You have gone from a coast to coast trip to now a 10 day trip to Vancouver. All the things you listed in Vancouver can be done in 3 days, Whistler 3 days. Are you hikIng? Can you even zip line in December? What sight seeing in Whistler if not skiing? Plus coming to Vancouver and Whistler in December….could rain everyday.

Having lived in Vancouver for many many years, this itinerary is bemusing. As Naturgrl pointed out, zip lining in Whistler in December is a joke. Van Dusen in Winter, besides the lights, is unspectacular..
OP most likely comes to Canada to claim asylum

OP googled Vancouver and picked the top attractions with no thought. Most of those things can be seen in a day. Honestly you don’t go to Whistler in December to zip line and “sight-see” or go to parks/gardens. Just don’t understand why coming to Canada. Started with Niagara Falls, then Banff, now Vancouver. And coming to visit Canada in December is a strange time.

Still haven’t addressed cash in the bank. You have $12k USD which is nothing for a family to come to Canada. You are using every penny from your bank account for a trip. For a family of 4 you should be showing $30k+ because you want to show that you can afford to come to Canada and not use all savings. Now coming for a 10 day trip to Vancouver, it just doesn’t seem worth it. I mentioned in a previous post that I went to Whistler with family of 3 for 5 days of skiing and trip cost almost $10k (Airfare, accommodations, food, car rental).

Why do you want to visit Vancouver?

After some research online, I decided that mountainous areas would be more interesting to me than city centers. Using AI, the following 14-day trip was created:


Day 1-2: Toronto - Arrive in Toronto and spend a day or two exploring the city.

Day 3: Niagara Falls - Take a day trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls, one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders.

Day 4-7: Algonquin Provincial Park - Head north to Algonquin Provincial Park, a vast wilderness area with forests, lakes, and rivers. Hike or canoe through the park, go camping under the stars, or spot wildlife like moose and bears.

Day 8-9: Ottawa - Canada's capital city, Ottawa, is a great place to stop for a day or two. Visit Parliament Hill, explore the Canadian War Museum, or stroll along the Rideau Canal.

Day 10-14: Banff National Park - Drive west to Banff National Park, one of Canada's most popular national parks. Hike or bike on one of the park's many trails, go for a scenic gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, or take a boat tour on Lake Louise, a stunning turquoise lake surrounded by glaciers. In the evenings, enjoy cozy nights by the fireplace at your hotel.


Can you now let me know if this itinerary makes sense? Additionally, from what I've seen on gmaps, the only location that is far from the other four is Banff National Park—about a four-hour flight away.

Thus, I would appreciate it if you could also estimate the approximate cost of this entire trip for me and my family of 3 so in total 4 People

Driving alone from Ottawa to Thunder Bay will take you at least two days. And that’s if you’re gunning it . At LEAST two days .
You always hear Americans going on how huge Texas is ? To put it into perspective, Ontario is 1.5 the size of Texas. It’s a HUGE province

As mentioned you’re literally all over the map on your “ sightseeing “ trip .
The VO are not idiots . They are trained to look at inconsistencies in applications . It’s looks like you’ve just taken a map of Canada and thrown darts at it
