Canada visa requirements

[arvigiri]

Hi Folks,

I am applying for Canadian visa and request you to answer my questions below:

1. I am applying for visitor visa and giving my friends name and address in Canada.

Q1: Should i mention my friends phone no. also? Is it mandatory?

Q2: Is it mandatory to submit the invitation letter from my friend to the consulate?

2. If a single entry visa approved, what would be the duration? is it going to be the duration of stay that i mentioned in the application form? or will it be for 3-6 months? or until my I-797 validity date?

Appreciate your help!

Thank you,

Arvi

Why dont you select the Reason for visit as " OTHER- H1b visa stamping" instead of visiting friend ? I have not done that, but my friend did it in a mentioned way.

I assume you are going for h1b stamping.

If you apply for a single entry visa, the visa will usually be valid for 3 months.

Thank you shaun and nav

@ shaun - Yes i am going for stamping. If i mention 'Other' with reason as 'H1b stamping' should i have to submit the appointment with consulate?

Appreciate your inputs!

Thanks
