I have a few questions regarding supervisa for my grandmother who is 62 years old

1. I know alot of visa applications are rejected because they cannot prove that they will go back after the visit. How can I prove this given my grand mother's situation? She does not have a job letter to attach as she is retired. Her husband is passed away. She also does not have any property to her name as it has been sold. What other strong ties to home country can I use? How do other people call elderly grandparents for visit?

2. What family members count as part of the LICO table?

3. Can I use my son or daughter as a financial co-signer for my grandmother?

4. Is it necessary to show funds in my grandmother's bank account? Will meeting the LICO be enough?

1. If she doesn’t have ties, she has to apply without ties. Does she have a pension that she receives, and can only get it if she continues to reside in her home country.
2. You, spouse, and children under 22 plus parents if they are in Canada on supervisa.
3. No.
4. LICO is enough but always good to to include her funds.

Assume she has passed the medical and purchased one year of medical insurance.
