Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply Visitor visa for my Mother-in-law as we are planning to bring her and stay with us in Canada for my wife's childbirth. I was confused with what to select from the below options. This is as per IRCC portal.

I am Mainly confused with these 2 options as to which one to select :-

Why do you need a visa? (required)
To provide care for a loved one who needs medical support.
OR
To visit my family

The closest and best option in my opinion is "To provide care for a loved one who needs medical support" But I am still not very sure about it.
Can someone please help me with the best answer?


I have also attached the image link below for all the options as per the portal can someone please guide me?
