A new recommended document requirement has been added for visitor visa applicants. When the country or territory of residence differs from the citizenship listed on passport, applicants must now provide proof of legal status in their country or territory of residence. This applies to applicants completing the \"You're coming to Canada to visit as a tourist\" pathway and affects supporting document submission requirements.

Each citation is quoted verbatim from its source and links back to it. Navisa does not paraphrase the rule — read it as written.
“If you are not a citizen of the country or territory where you are applying, you **must** send proof of your legal status in the country or territory you live in when you submit your application.”
“The name of the country or territory you live in, if you have been lawfully admitted to that country or territory.”
When a change lands, the engine re-checks the files it affects
Navisa is an AI file-prep engine for Canadian immigration firms. It reads the documents on a file, cross-checks them, runs the eligibility analysis against retrieved official sources, and flags what an officer would — citations attached. It does not replace the judgment of a licensed immigration professional; a consultant reviews and approves the work.
Navisa Prep is document-preparation software for individuals — cited comparisons and options, never advice. The Navisa platform is the case engine for licensed firms.
