Hello,

I am planning on applying for visitor visa for my mother in law by ONLINE application. I have all the documents except T4 tax. I am a PR but did not live in canada more than 4 months in 2012 and 2013. We moved to canada in 2014, therefore did not file taxes yet. Will this effect her application? Should I ask her to go to canadian consulate in india and apply in person rather than online? Please advice.

Thank you for your help.

A Visitors Visa (TRV) must be applied only by the person visiting Canada (you cannot apply on her behalf - at the most, you can apply for your spouse or children - not parents). T4 is not a requirement while applying for Visitors Visa. If you want to include documents to prove that you can support her, then an employment letter, pay stubs and bank statements would suffice. However, it is more important for you MIL to show strong ties back to India (property, dependents etc) so that she would not overstay her visit here.

Are you getting confused with Super Visa?

The application form for TRV and Super Visa are exactly the same. And you certainly can fill out the forms and upload required documents on your MIL's behalf. However, I recommend to the OP that you find an agency in India that has success with these. (I've yet to see confirmation from someone that they indeed have them.). We used an agency (but in Philippines), and they had us include things not necessarily required. Visa was approved in 4 days.
