Requirements by country
Requirements by country
The Canadian side of the process is the same wherever you apply from. Your own country's rules are what differ, so pick yours.
Every page in this branch shows the date its content was last checked and how often it is reviewed. Visa rules change; a page that does not tell you how old it is cannot be trusted.
Indonesia
For an Indonesian family: how the Canadian visitor visa is applied for, what has to be gathered before applying, and the Indonesian nationality law that decides what passport the child eventually keeps. Everything here carries the date it was last checked.
China
For a family travelling from mainland China: how Canada assesses the application, which supporting papers matter most, and how Chinese law treats a second nationality acquired at birth abroad. Each item below is dated.
Vietnam
For a Vietnamese family: the application path into Canada, the evidence an officer expects to see, and what Vietnam requires afterwards if a child is born abroad. Dates are shown against every item.
Other countries
The Canadian side of the process is the same wherever you apply from: the same form, the same biometrics, the same decision. What differs is your own country's exit rules and its nationality law. If your country is not listed separately yet, this page covers the common ground.
