Hello,

I´m in the US as an au pair with a j-1 visa and I would love to go for a 4-days tour to Canada. I looked online and found that i need a temporary visitor visa. I´m filling out the IMM 5257 and it says there that i have to "validate it" and then i need to sign it and dated it. So my question is, what is next? After they validate it can i just go to the visa office in NYC and submit all my documents any day i want?

Thank you :)

Thank you for answer my question so quickly :)

I am almost done with the IMM 5257 form and there is a question that I don´t know what to answer.
Is the number #4 DETAILS OF VISTI TO CANADA. I´m going for this 4- day tour and I know all the itinerary, so what should i answer in this question since there are only three boxes for name - relationship to me - address in Canada?

Thanks again.

Do you mean question 11?
You could enter the first address that you are staying at, make a note of an attachment and attach the itinerary.

You can do it at your bank. You can enter the amount in USD. 1 USD is roughly .98 CAD. As for the details of your visit you can attach a copy of your itinerary (from the tour company), and the name of the hotel you're staying at during your tour.

Write "see attached itinerary" in the box, then attach the full itinerary to the form with a paperclip.

OKay. I got the validation of the IMM 5257... what date should I put in the form?? Today's? Or i dated the day I´m going to the office?
And I just want to make sure, can I go any day I want on the hours that you told me or i need to wait some time or the visa office will send me some kind of document before i go?

you can go any time within the hours indicated. Date it at the time you sign it. The exact fee is important and of course the other documents asked for on the document checklist.

If you have not yet submitted the form, you can always start from the scratch and validate again.
