There are lots of thoughts come when you dream to travel abroad but all those thoughts get vanish when it comes to start taking action because you don’t have enough money to travel and if somehow you saved money then giving fees to the Visa counselor doesn’t feel satisfactory at all.
Visa approval is one of the most challenging task if you are planning to embark on abroad for study for travelling for work or for any other reason. Many of us take Visa counsellor help and pay high demand fees as well if they are well reputed and reliable. But sometimes we take our step back especially when we are planning for just travelling purpose and giving visa counsellor fees doesn’t feel satisfactory at all.
Even I too get Canada Visa approval on the very first attempt without taking any help of Visa counsellor. And Many of my friends keep asking me what are the documentation requirement and all. I tell you, the process is very easy you just need to arrange your documents as per the destination rules requirement.
Here, I am going to tell you how I get my Visa approved in just Ten days. All the documents I arranged by myself even though I was working and just took one day leave from my work to appear in the Canadian embassy. Your visa get approved within five working days if all the supporting documents are provided. You see, these are the mandatory documents you must need even if you are applying through your Visa counselor and any shortage of documents can lead to rejection. It’s totally on to the consent of Canadian government to approve Visa and providing all the required documents can make your case stronger.

3. Letter verifying that the applicant is who he/she claims to be and that he/she is employed
Letter on letterhead from the Institution where the applicant is permanently
employed confirming the identity of the applicant. The person who signs the
letter must be easy to contact. If possible, provide a direct number to that person
other than the number on the letterhead if the number on the letterhead is a
general number. When a visa officer phones to verify the applicant’s identity and
cannot speak to the person who signed the letter, the approval process is
delayed.

The purpose of this letter is not to provide references about the applicant’s
character or quality of their work, but is to verify the identity of the applicant as it
is presented on his/her visa application form.
4. Flight and Accommodation Bookings
character or quality of their work, but is to verify the identity of the applicant as it
is presented on his/her visa application form.
4. Flight and Accommodation Bookings
As while applying for a Canada visa, you need to show your confirmed flight and accommodation bookings. Making these in advance of the visa is always a bit of risk – so you’re better off making fully refundable bookings. Most full-fledged carriers and hotels on booking.com offer full refund upon cancellation. Once you receive your visa, you can cancel these and make your actual bookings. The idea is to show that you have enough money or credit limit to book your flight and stay. As my sister lives there so I didn't have to show hotel bookings.
5. Never travelled internationally
If the applicant has never traveled internationally or if there is something out of
the ordinary with his/her visa application that may present challenges in assessing the visa application, you can take help by emailing the Executive Director of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute ahead of time with the applicant’s information. The information must reach the Calgary office at least 3 days before the applicant submits his/her application. This information will then be forwarded to the Immigration Program Manager at the High Commission in Delhi who will ensure all relevant information is taken into account.

6. Lead time for submitting a visa application
Visa applications are usually processed within five working days if the visa from
is complete and all the supporting documents are provided. Nonetheless it would
be prudent and relieve anxieties to submit all visa applications 10 working days
before the date of travel in case an interview is required or verification prove
complicated. When there is a group invited for the same purpose, applications
submitted as a group facilitates rapid and consistent processing, so is strongly
encouraged whenever possible.

7. Strange but true
Once a completed application form is submitted, the fastest way to receive the
visa is to do nothing, except wait. Contacting the staff at the High Commission
enquiring about the status of an application actually slows the process down.
The visa section processes hundreds of applications per day; pulling a case out
of processing sequence is normally not done, to be fair to all applicants, who
naturally consider their reason for visiting Canada to be important! The High
Commission will contact the applicant if they need more information or
clarification.

8. Understanding the process
The visa officer who evaluates an application is by law an independent decision-
maker tasked with determining whether they are satisfied that an applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. Section managers can provide information and advice, but cannot fetter the decision-making authority of a visa officer.

The above are from my experiences through with I got my Visa approval. The Visa documentation requirement differ from country to country. And you can just visit online to that particular country immigration site and all the documentation information you will get there.
