Hello Experts,

My brother wants to apply for Canada VV. He has done his masters from Netherlands and right now he is in India. He was in Europe for more than 3 years. He has been to US once on B1/B2 visa (Issues for 1 year only with annotation that security check is done and cleared). His stay time was hardly 2 weeks. Also he had 5 years C1D visa for US where he has multiple stamps of NYC and Miami. Other than these, his old passport has stamps of Turkey, Peru and Brazil. My questions are:

1. He has balance of 10 Lacs in his account but he has received this money very recently. In bank statement, it will be exposed that money was not there earlier. Shall he go ahead with balance certificate or he should wait for 3 months to let these funds get mature.

2. What should he tell in his purpose of visit. The actual reason is that he will be travelling with my son (he already has VV) so that he (my son) can meet my wife who is in Canada already. I can not travel as I have some work related commitments. Or he shall mention a relative marriage which will be happening in march. Or should he mention that he wants to explore Canada.

Can you please help as I am confused right now. Thank You in advance
