Applying TRV for my mother

[umamohite]

Hello!
I am on work permit and looking for employment in Canada. My father recently expired and I am looking forward to apply for TRV for my mother. My mother lives in India. I have following queries in regards with my mother's visa application.
-Is there any exception for visa application of single parent where the child on work permit can apply for dependent visa for mother or I will have to go for TRV only?
-In letter of invitation, I am supposed to mention the job title. But as I am looking for job, I don't have job title to mention there. Is is going to be a problem?
-Proof of travel document includes return ticket to be uploaded. My haven't planned the visit yet so she is yet to book the ticket. Do I have to wait until the ticket will be booked or is it okay if I just upload the travel itinerary?
-Should letter of invitation and travel itinerary documents be attested?
-There is one more section called "letter of explanation" . Is it advisable for me to explain there that my father expired and that's why my mother is planning the visit. Would it adversely affect the process? Or should I just mention that it's just for the travel purpose?
-Should I obtain international health insurance for my mother from India itself or should I get health insurance for her when she visits canada?

Thank you in advance!

- No exception. Your mother does not meet the definition of a dependent. She can only visit and for that she will need a TRV.
- It would be preferable if you had a job at the time you apply. However if you do not, then you'll need to say n/a.
- Provide her planned itinerary. Do not buy the actual ticket until you know if she has been approved or refused.
- No attestation required.
- I would not write a letter to mention your father has recently passed. This will likely work against her and increase CIC's concerns she has plans to remain in Canada long term.
- It doesn't matter where you purchase insurance. However you should make sure she is covered as soon as she arrives in Canada since emergency treatment here is extremely expensive.
