Example : A letter or any treatment proof from treating physician who is affiliated with Canadian institution

2. Submit proof that satisfactory financial arrangements have been made for cost of treatment, follow up care and living expenses for the time spent in Canada

Example : Bank details or document showing third party cover the expenses, just like charity group

3. Submit proof of his temporary stay in Canada , or if he hold a CAQ ( Quebec acceptance certificate)because laws of that province require foreign nationals should hold that.
