Hello

IMM5257e Tourist Visa

Ive been trying for the last 2 weeks online to figure out what supported documents are required for my mother to visit Canada from Scotland in particular the document checklist i was looking at was IMM5484e

She has a indian passport but has resided in the UK since 1970 and has a ' Indefinite Leave to enter the United Kingdom' stamp on her passport

She has previosly visited Canada in 2014 and was given a Multiple Entry Visa, Category V1 visa for the duration of her passport (7yr Visa)

Her purpose of the visit is to see her sister in vancouver. Her sister is a canadian citizen and has been in canada since 1983


There seems to be no clear checklist for what is required for IMM5257e and the protocols have changed so much since i last applied on her behalf in 2014

So far I have



  • Filled in the online PDF version of imm5257e which I have both the printed version and the online PDF version.
  • joined ArriveCan and uploaded all her Covid Vaccination information (jpg documents)
  • Have a Bank Statement showing funds my mother has to support her visit.
  • Purpose of travel letter detailing intention of visit.
  • Photocopies of passport & previous Visa

Im assuming Biometrics are not required as her last Canadian visa was in 2014 (less than 10 yrs ago)

What im not sure is......



  • Do I need to fill in IMM5707 form (Family Information)
  • Two Photos for the Tourist Visa
  • Marriage Certificate (my mother is widowed)
  • A letter of invitation from her sister in Vancouver
  • Current immigration status in UK


or if anything else is required

thanks for reading
