started with the\nprocess, you first need to download the forms and documents checklist from the\nVFS Canada website. A good part about the Canadian visa forms is they are short\nand few in number juxtaposed to any other visa applications. According to the\nlatest information, CAD 100 is charged as Canada Visa fee for Indians for both\nsingle and multiple entry visas, which is acceptable for 10 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though when you\u2019re connected\nto the internet, visitor\u2019s form must get filled and the entire process needs\nthe latest version of Adobe reader (11.0). Since you cannot sign\nelectronically, ensure that after completing the form you click on the validate\noption on the top of the form. This will further create barcodes at the end of\nthe page. If somehow you want to make any changes, remember you need to\nvalidate it again. Print out 2 copies of the same, mention the date and sign\nthem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flight_and_Accommodation_Bookings\"><\/span><strong>Flight and Accommodation Bookings <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you apply for a\nSchengen visa, you\u2019re asked to show the confirmed flight and hotel bookings,\nwhich might be quite a risky thing, so make sure you do the bookings that are\nrefundable. Check out for the hotels giving you a complete refund on your\ncancellations. So, this is the time where you need to act smart. Now, once you\nget your visa, just cancel out your deals and book the places where you\nactually want to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cover_Letter_and_other_Documents\"><\/span><strong>Cover Letter and other Documents<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cover-Letter-and-other-Documents-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cover-Letter-and-other-Documents-1.png 744w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cover-Letter-and-other-Documents-1-288x300.png 288w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cover-Letter-and-other-Documents-1-600x624.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross check with the VFS\nCanada website and once you\u2019re sure that all the documents required are ready\nin the same order, pen down a short cover letter telling why you want to be a\nguest of Canada, how you\u2019ll be covering your expenses, mention it if you\u2019re\nhaving any invitation letter, are there any countries you have received visas\nfor in the past? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_Entry_Visa_Option\"><\/span><strong>Multiple Entry Visa Option <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada is definitely one of\nthe countries that never disappoints you and always leave an impression to\ninvite you time and again. Being an Indian, having a multiple entry visa to a\ncountry comes with its own benefits- it\u2019s valid for almost 7 years, getting the\nvisa on the arrival in a few other countries, and also when you wish to apply\nfor other visas, it automatically adds to your credibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seeking_for_the_Visa_at_VFS\"><\/span><strong>Seeking for the Visa at VFS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 10 visa centers of VFS for Canada across the country. In case, your town or city doesn\u2019t have this facility, you can simply contact a travel agent or just courier the documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If still, you\u2019re not able to understand the things, reach out the VFS helpline and make confirmations. You can submit your passport at VFS any time from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon or 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. You don\u2019t have to book an appointment for the same. Get your token number once you reach there and make sure you have all the correct documents with you. The whole process is really simple then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collect_the_Passport\"><\/span><strong>Collect the Passport <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collect-the-Passport-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6628\" width=\"499\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collect-the-Passport-1.png 776w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collect-the-Passport-1-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collect-the-Passport-1-768x752.png 768w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Collect-the-Passport-1-600x588.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, officially it takes\naround 10-14 days to get all the process done but if you\u2019re lucky enough, you\nmay get yours a bit early.
