Hi,

I'm a Thai Citizen and a holder of Thai Passport living in the UK with indefinite leave to remain visa for the UK. My mother is Thai-British and my stepfather is British Citizen (not that it will affect my application as I will be travelling alone). I'm planning to travel to Canada for 10 days holiday (7 days in Vancouver & 3 days in Toronto) in 2017.

I have uploaded my passport, visas documents, my financial evidence, travel history, proposed trip itinerary (I have not booked my flights and hotels yet), my family information form etc.
I'm currently in a process of completing my application for temporary resident visa (IMM 5257). I've filled in all the relevant answers apart from the section about name, address and relationship of any person(s) or institution(s) I will visit. As I have no family or friends living in Canada, I don't know what information I should provide. I can't validate the form and submit it if I leave it blank. Please help.

You can put a hotel name and address where you will stay during your holiday, since you have no relatives in
canada.

Thank you. In the end I just put N/A but I provided them detailed itinerary. They've just requested me to submit my passport.

Hi.

According to cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics , my nationality doesn't not require to give biometrics. When I submitted my application, I've paid just the $CAD 100 for regular application.

During the entire process, I've paid $100 application fee + additional the service charge when I had to send my original passport to VAC (£28.93 in total).

My application just been approved today and I've only submitted my application on 20 December 2016.

Hope this help.

Prior to applying, I've read different posts on this forum and based on others' experiences, I didn't expect quick response to be honest.

I AM AN INDIAN CITIZEN. CAN I APPLY FOR ETA VISA?
No - you don't qualify for an ETA. You need a TRV.

I'm only going for tourism purpose and for only 10 days. The evidence I provided as part of my tourist visa application were my flights (I've already reserved my tickets), booking confirmation of my accommodation, details itinerary, my payslips from my employer here in the UK, letter of my annual tax review and my bank statements. Just all the proof they've ask for, nothing specific.

Can you please clarify did you have a confirmed flight ticket you purchased beforehand or just a reservation without PNR??
