Hello friends,

I am planning to re-apply for my in-laws after the online application got rejected on 13-July. (Applied on 19-June). When I start the application there is a question.
What is the main purpose of your visit?
Should I say "Tourism" or should I say "To visit family and/or friends"
Please advise.

Actually they are coming here to visit few attractions as well as to see their newborn grandchild.

My father in law does agriculture. So what should I answer for the following questions.

1) Do you have a job in the country where you currently live?
2) Do you own a business in the country where you currently live?

Thanks Bryanna. Hope you remember my case. I applied for my in-laws in June saying my wife is pregnant and I am inviting them to support her and also I invited for 3 months. You advised me to apply for them after few months. Now I am planning to apply for them after 4 months. I thought I should mention this time they are coming for tourism to visit canada. But you advised me to say as "To visit family". I will do so...thanks...

Yes, I do remember your case. It would seem rather unusual that they want to be *tourists* instead of *visiting family* especially when their previous applications mentioned this.

IMO, don't mention about wanting to see their grandchild as it could seem like they may work 'illegally'.. Instead do draw up the detailed day-by-day plan for sightseeing, spending time with you and your family, activities, etc.

I recommend you also focus on your in-laws finances. If I remember correctly, they are paid cash/most business transactions are in cash

ok I got your point Bryanna. Thanks. I will prepare the invitation letter and I will share it with you for your review.
