This is what is required for a tourist visa:
1. Original Passport valid for at least 6 months
2. One recent coloured passport size photograph with at least 3 months validity. Another site requests two pictures but not sure what they use it for. Do they apply this to the visa?
3. Completed online Entry Visa Application Form and Sign
4. Confirmed Payment
5. Visa Acknowledgment Slip - I'm guessing this means the receipt or confirmation that you completed your application?
6. Forward original passport, all required documents and a self-addressed return CANADA POST PRIORITY OR XPRESSPOST ENVELOPE ONLY.
7. Drop off the visa application is Tuesday to Friday between the hours of 9:00am and 1:00pm.
Can I send it by registered mail as I live 4 hours from Ottawa?
8. Photocopy of Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.

Requirements for Tourist Visa:
ITEMS 1-12 above +
a. A typed self-explanatory letter request for Tourist visa - I'm not sure what I am supposed to write here besides a request for a Tourist visa for (dates) and to visit friend.
Is there anyone who has done this and would be willing to help or share their letter?
b. Letter of Confirmation of employment from employer in Canad
c. A confirmed hotel reservation for the duration of stay in Nigeria, and copy of Hotel Employer's Identification Card - I booked my hotel for Lagos but will then be traveling to another town (Enugu) to visit another friend. What do I do? And why do I need to get a copy of an employer's identification card from the hotel?
d. Evidence of sufficient funds: Photocopy of Receipts for the purchase of U.S. funds from the bank considered adequate to cover the cost of the trip and not Statement of Account.
Does it have to be from the bank? What if I go to one of those money exchange places in the mall? Also, how much is "sufficient" for them? I don't know how much to bring as I don't know how much things cost in Nigeria.
Thanks! : )
