visitor visa for mother, father and brother in law in one online account

[Mitroh]

I am applying for my mother in law , father in law and brother in law. If I apply online, can it not be on the same account? Can my brother in law give authority to my father in law on the use of representative form?
If it through another account, 2 different visa officers will see it right?

Please advise.

Is your brother-in-law a minor?

Can my brother in law give authority to my father in law on the use of representative form?

If your brother-in-law is not a minor, he must apply independently (separate online account). He may/may not appoint his dad as his authorized representative.

If it through another account, 2 different visa officers will see it right?

Two separate online applications = Possibility of two different visa officers evaluating the applications = Possibility that the applications might be processed by two different global visa offices

Each applicant must prove his/her own individual strong ties + finances + purpose of visit

If you prefer, all three applicants can apply together at a VFS/VAC through paper submissions. They must request the VAC staff to bag all three applications together so that they are reviewed by the same visa officer. Nonetheless, do include one complete set of common documents for each application along with their individual documents/explanations

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation Bryanna.
He is not a minor so I will apply his through a different account.
Any other advice you have for a 27 year old boy who started working only a year ago. What kind of documents do we show for him? Can we say that his parents will sponsor the finances?

1. What is the purpose of their visit? For how long?

2. Has your brother-in-law traveled to other countries for short visits?

3. Can he prove he has work commitments to return to? For example: Training, appraisal, salary increase, promotion, or project-related work?

4. Does he have any other reasons to return to his home country? For example, he is studying part-time, volunteers for social/charity causes, member of a sports team, etc

To answer the questions above:
1. He is only going to be coming to visit us and for sightseeing. We bought a house so they will be a part of the house warming ceremony.
He will be in Canada for a maximum of 25 days.

2. He hasn't travelled anywhere else, always been in India.

3. I can see if he can show any of those things.
Can his manager put a note saying he has to be back by this day for so and so project deadline? Would that suffice?

4. He doesn't have any major reasons except his work and parents being in India. Is there anything else that can prove a reason to go back to India?

1. He is only going to be coming to visit us and for sightseeing. We bought a house so they will be a part of the house warming ceremony.
He will be in Canada for a maximum of 25 days.

For all applicants, I recommend you prepare a day-by-day itinerary with expense estimates for sightseeing, meeting family/friends, etc. Do not make the house celebrations as the only reason to visit.

Also, for your brother-in-law, he should keep his visit to 2-3 weeks max, preferably around some national holidays to explain why he can take time off work for longer.

2. He hasn't travelled anywhere else, always been in India.

Any possibility that he has to travel abroad because of his employment?

3. I can see if he can show any of those things.
Can his manager put a note saying he has to be back by this day for so and so project deadline? Would that suffice?

He must also include 2-3 bits of evidence that he is indeed part of that project.

4. He doesn't have any major reasons except his work and parents being in India. Is there anything else that can prove a reason to go back to India?

IMO, your brother-in-law does not have a very solid application. You would need to work really hard to think/include other reasons for him to return his home country. That's because he is young, recently employed, not married, no other movable/immovable assets, no travel history.

Also, all three applicants applying together would reduce their family ties to their home country to nil. Each applicant would need to demonstrate his/her individual and collective ties/reasons to return home (with evidence)

Thanks Bryanna,

Do you know what kind of documents can we give to prove "appraisal, salary increase, promotion, or project-related work" coz if it is just getting a written letter from his Boss then that would be easy to do. But do you think it will be enough? If you know any other ways/docs that can prove the above then that would be big help.
