Visitor visa for spouse parents, spouse PR but not working

[DevKandpal]

Hi,
Can someone suggest if any one has faced below scenario and there were no issues

scenario - Me and my spouse are PR. I want to invite my spouse parents to Canada on temp visit but my spouse is home maker. I am full time and can show funds to support my in laws (spouse parents) during their visit here by co-signing spouse invitation letter as I cannot invite my in-law directly.
Does anyone foresee any scenario where visa application could be refused on basis that my spouse cannot support directly as she is homemaker and does not earn. In-laws can show strong ties to home country using bank n property statement.
Pls do suggest if anyone has been in this situation and got visa stamped.

Her parents are the one who need to show funds (liquid funds), travel history, ties to home country (job letters with leave). You can invite them but your spouse being a homemaker has little to no bearing.

Thanks for response but as per CIC One cannot invite in laws . One can become co-signer to support in overall funding to his her spouse

What do you mean you cannot invite in-laws? What are you co-signing? Parents are applying for a TRV, not being sponsored for PR. Parents show funds to support their visit, not you or your spouse. You can write an invitation letter for anyone you want to visit you in Canada, even friends.

Now if for PR (selected in the lottery) then yes, you would have to co-sign because spouse has no income.

For TRV only, parents will show their income and ties to home country but in the invitation letter spouse has to mention that they will stay along with us and since spouse has no income then I will have to co-sign the invitation letter attaching my bank statement n paystub telling IRCC that I can take care of them here while they are visiting us

. There is no co-signing to authorize that your family have the funds to support a visit. Invitation letter states that they are coming to visit, will stay with you, and will do xx while visiting. Your funds are irrelevant and may not be considered. If you want include pay stubs then do so but IRCC wants to know that parents can support their own visit, not you. You are overthinking this that you have to co-sign something.

Think there is some confusion with supervisa and PGP versus normal TRV. For LICO the spouse can qualify for LICO for their in-laws.
