Documents for "Purpose of Travel" for visitor visa

[raj.nnrps]

I am a PR in Canada and want my father to visit me here for some time. I am in the process of applying for the visitor visa for him. Please help me with the below mentioned issues.

• What document should I provide under "Purpose of Travel" section? It says I can provide a flight ticket departing Canada, travel itinerary, proof of a medical appointment. Do I have to book a flight ticket in advance for applying for visa?
• My mother passed away last year. In the Family Information (IMM5645) form, what should be the status of my mother? Should it be "Married-not physically present" as the status of my father is widower?

Thanks in advance. This forum has always been very helpful.

sorry to hear about your mother. just put the name in English and your native language, marital status not needed, just put the country/town and the date of death, that's what it was asking in the form if you notice (if deceased)
