Hi,

I applied for visitor visa for my parents and grandmother in December 2024. They finished their biometrics last week and I got a rejection today for all 3 applicants. The duration of the visit was 1 month and they were supposed to stay with me. I wrote a letter of invitation and mentioned that I will be bearing all the expenses in their respective applications and as proof of funds I provided bank statements showing 35000$ in savings and my job letter and pay stubs. My parents do not have enough liquid funds for me to attach as proof so I provided documents of the property and business to establish ties to home country. I also mentioned that my younger brother is in India, thus, my parents would need to get back to him.
1) What are my options to invite them ? I would really appreciate any suggestions.
2)The refusal letter I got was generic, is there a way to get the specific notes related to my case to understand the reason better?

1) Supervisa
2) Order GCMS notes
3) Don't invite all of them at the same time. Your reducing the ties to the home country.

1. They need to show their own funds and assume that grandmother was not part of your parents application. She is not a dependant. You providing your banks statements, job letter and paystubs is not relevant to their applications. So if cannot show their own funds then supervisas.
2. GCMS notes.
3. Is brother under 22. Ties to return are job letters with approved leave. For business they would show business registration, bank statements and invoices as well as contracts to show they must return. Also saying you are covering all expenses is a red flag that they a) cannot afford to come to Canada and b) will not leave Canada.

So next time it is 2 applications through different accounts - parents and grandmother. They are not dependant on each other.
