Do I need travel insurance for a Canada visa?
Travel insurance is required for most Canada applications. Visank can arrange a compliant policy that meets the embassy's minimum coverage, so you don't have to source it yourself.
Do I need to book flights and hotels before applying for a Canada visa?
No — never book real tickets before approval. Visank provides free, embassy-accepted dummy flight and hotel reservations for your Canada application. You only book real travel once the visa is granted.
Is biometrics required for a Canada visa?
Yes, biometrics (fingerprints and a photograph) are captured at your VFS/visa-centre appointment. Visank books the earliest available slot for you and prepares your full file beforehand.
