My husband wants to invite his sister when our child is born not as a caregiver because I know the chances for that is difficult. My sister-in-law has three young children all under 7 years and so we would like to invite the her with her kids. Would all three of her kids be able to come with her? Her husband has a job in Pakistan so I'm not exactly sure if he will be able to come or if he gets the visa. Since his husband would be in Pakistan, that would be sufficient proof that she will go back? We want to invite her because we want her to see our baby and join us in our happiness and for the aqeeqah party of our child. My husband doesn't have any of his siblings in Canada. Is it possible to invite her on a visit visa and maybe multiple entry visa with her kids? How do we apply?
How do I invite my sister-in-law and her kids in Pakistan on the birth of my child.

They apply for a temporary resident visa for a family visit.
It may be very difficult for her and three children all to get a visa unless they have overwhelming evidence of ties to their home country and income and assets to be a reason to return. The visa officer will assume the travel is for childcare if you mention birth of a child and their submission will need to convince the visa officers that this is not what is happening.
It is possible to get a TRV. You will likely want to include a letter of invitation in their application.

If you're looking for an honest answer then IMO, she does not have chances of a TRV approval if she applies with all her children + if the purpose of her visit is to be with you when your baby is born.
As a mother, her strongest ties are her children, not her husband
Okay, my parents and siblings live near us so I don't need a caregiver and my husband will also help me after birth and before birth so these are my reasons for not inviting her childcare. Also, my sister-in-law's children go to school so this could also be a strong tie to back home. Or if she leaves her two older kids back home and only brings her one year old baby with her, that might be possible as well. I sponsored my husband so when he was in Pakistan, he was living with his sister and so they have a close bond and that is why he wants her to come for the party that we have for our child.
Basically, any mention about you having a baby could trigger the 'coming to take care of you and your baby' thinking in the mind of the visa officer.
As young children, their study ties are not strong. It would have been different if they were attending college.
Your sister-in-law could apply a few months after your baby is born. This might reduce the incorrect assumption that she is visiting to take care of your baby
When she applies, you may want to include evidence and explanations that your family lives nearby + you are not working to be able to take care of your baby (if that's the case).
Nonetheless, it would be best if she applies only with her youngest child + indicates the older two children and her husband as family ties to return to
