How much money is needed for a Canada visitor visa?

There is not a certain amount required, you just need to show you can support yourself:

Temporary residents must have evidence that they can support themselves and any accompanying dependants while in Canada. That evidence may include one of the following:

  • cash, certified cheque, bank draft or money order in an amount large enough to cover all reasonable expenses to be incurred during the stay in Canada

  • verbal or written statements, which can be confirmed, that satisfy an officer that sufficient financial support from friends and/or family is available and has been arranged to adequately cover all reasonable expenses to be incurred during the stay in Canada.

You are being scammed, be extremely careful. I got even my immigration visa without involving anyone else but the embassy and me and the amount of money required to support even an immigration is barely more. For a simply visitor visa, much less money is required and absolutely no agents! The average net income in Canada is ~3000 CAD which means this sort of money is what an average Canadian takes home in three months. Accordingly, quite a few Canadians do not have this much saved, according to this Statistics Canada tweet:

Average net #saving for all Canadian #households was $852 in 2018, while the highest #income quintile (the top 20% income earners in Canada) saved $41,393 per household.

8000 CAD is awful lot of money, in short.
