Hello

Aplogises if I have posted this in the wrong section if the Mods want to move this to the right section if this isnt the right area.

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

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

Visitors section of the forum is the right section to be asking. Also read through the discussions there.

unfortunately i tried to post in the Visitors section but got a Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly

Is it ok to get a reply to my answer in this section as im stuck... sent email to consul of canada in London but got a response saying we dont respnd to individual cases and refer to the online information....sent email to vfs canada visa uk and they only provide general information & admin services relating to tempory residents (study work permits)
and no one picks up the phone ever

thanks again
