Hi,

I am a Canadian Citizen, and have been in Canada since 2013. I have worked for almost all the time here, but am not working since November 2023.

I want to apply for visiting visa for my brother and family. He is very well settled in India, and owns property as well.

Will my being unemployed right now affect the chances of getting their visa approved?

Please advise.

Thanks

Your brother needs to apply for his visitor visa. You can provide a letter of invitation and it's more important for him to show his finance, work, tie to home country ...etc

For your family (spouse and children), you can help them to apply for visitor visa. But it's hard to proof tie to their home country when you are living in Canada.
Are you planning to sponsor your spouse and children? May be that's a better route?

oh. and if you actually mean your brother and his family, then he can include them in his visitor visa application. But when the whole family travels that weaken his tie to home country.

It is your brother and his family applying so they need to show their own funds, travel history, ties to home country and reasons to travel. You can send a letter of invitation .

You seem to have gotten very lucky and likely part of some bulk approval because your application was not very strong. You may run into issues on your arrival in Canada if your brother is a student with 1k in the bank and you don’t have proof of strong ties to India like a good job, property ownership, a spouse or children in India, significantly more money in your bank account. There will be concerns that you may attempt to remain in Canada

Not a bro first of all. Those who comment on your posts typically look back at other posts especially recent posts to get a better history. You are actually still quite lucky to have gotten approval because it is hard to get approval for a TRV when living in a 3rd country especially in the gulf region. Proving that you have strong ties to your home country is hard if you live in a 3rd country. IRCC is also aware the residency in gulf countries is tied to employment so many want to secure citizenship in Canada so they can secure options other than their home country. Applying with your brother also should have lead to a denial or request to reapply without your brother. Your application was approved in error, you can not have your adult brother as part of your TRV.
