1. The available funds which your parents have for their visit (bank balance, cash, foreign currency, etc)

The online questionnaire is only a guide. It is not the actual application form.

Here's another link:

Do check the Instruction Guide + the Visa office instructions for your parents' home country

You can either apply online..... or email your documents as the host so that your parents can apply in-person at the nearest VFS

[Bryanna]

Yes, you can apply online on behalf of your parents. You must, however, give their India address (not your address).

You can be absolutely sure that it is safe and secure to use your banking credentials as the software technology uses industry best practices

for father
1.Why is your family member visiting Canada - i selected 'To visit family and/or friends'

Correct

For mother i didnt see same above option so i selected 'Visit - All other types'

Okay

2. Do you depend on someone for financial support? i selected 'Yes' as i am sponsoring

I would not select 'Yes'. For TRVs, your parents must prove that they can afford their planned itinerary + airfare = less financial dependence on you = greater the chances of TRV approvals

3. Proof of Financial Resource of Supporter - Here i am attaching my payslips and empyment letter

Do include your NOA + bank statement also

4.Proof of Means of Financial Support - here i am going to add my father property list letter prepred by CA and their current job employmnet letter.

As property cannot be liquidated to pay for a visit, you cannot include your dad's property. Same for his current employment letter.

For Proof of Means of Financial Support, you must include: Your mom and dad's 6 months' bank statements + FDs (if any, especially if it can be liquidated) + FD interest certificates + 6 months pay slips + 2 years ITRs.

You can include their bank accounts (joint or sole accounts).

If their properties are rented then you can include rental income for available finances.


For the strong ties, you must include:
1. The CA's statement will not work in isolation. Do include the property ownership documents + latest property tax receipts + excerpts from MagicBricks/Times Property/Citibank Realty reports to back the current indicative market rates for their property

2. For rented property (if it's the case): Rent agreement + 2-3 months' rent receipts + bank statement confirming rent payments

3. For employment: Leave approval letter stating your dad will have his job when he returns + proofs of any work-related commitments for which your parents must return by a specific date

4. 2-3 months credit card statements (of your parents) is the dues are low. Not debit cards

5. Do prepare a day-by-day itinerary for sightseeing/meeting relatives and friends/activities with expense estimates + prove they can pay for it



Have your parents visited the US in the last 10 years or have valid US visas? Any other countries?
What's the purpose of their visit and for how long?

Thanks for information
can you tell me what is 'NOA' ?
flight tentative itinerary is sufficient ? or do i need to book actual ticket?

I am not sure here why i have to say they will pay expenses as i am calling them and sponsoring and i am going to pay all expenses.?

 

[Bryanna]

Thanks for information
can you tell me what is 'NOA' ?

NOA = Notice of Assessment. If you don't have it then your employment letter + pay slips + bank statements will suffice

flight tentative itinerary is sufficient ? or do i need to book actual ticket?

Don't book confirmed tickets. The provisional flight itineraries are okay
