My bf wants me to visit him In Canada

[Nezee]

Hi there,
I am looking for the best advice For my case,
My boyfriend wants me to go visit him in Canada and the deal was he will be the one to Shoulder the expenses for my stay there. Food, shelter and other expenses.
Now what visa shall we apply for my case?

Assuming he is from a non-visa exempt country, he needs to apply for a tourist visa (TRV). To be approved, he will need to demonstrate he has strong ties to his home country and has no plans on remaining in Canada long term. It would be better if he could shoulder his own expenses rather than relying on you. You can include an invitation letter with the application.

Process is different if he holds a passport from a visa exempt country.

Thank you for your advice.
In this case, is proof of relationship necessary? We dont have photos together. Only history of flight tickets he has for his visit here in my country., furthermore, if I will sponsor my own visit, how much money shall I have to show... or shall I have in my account to have a greater chance for visa.
