Hello sir/madam,
I am an international student, studying in USA. I want to visit Canada as a visitor for only a week or two. Is the invitation letter mandatory for getting visa (as i dont know anybody there, who could invite me)? And do i have to send my timeline to visa officers for getting visa ? Please reply asap.
Thank you.

Timeline? ... Do you mean itinerary?

Anyway.... no. But it would be odd to submit an application without detailing your plans and that would decrease your chances.

1. You put your whole name in the surname box and leave the given name box blank or N/A

You can write the address without booking.

You're one of those people who can benefit from hiring a consultant to make your application.
