Tourist visa to visit family member in canada

[shahshah]

Hi,
I'm Applying for a tourist visa to visit my sister who is a Canadian PR, I'm coming with my family (Spose and 2 Children), I understand that each of us have to fill out the application form. for my own application I chose:

To visit my grandparent, grandchild, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling or non-dependent child who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada

But once I reached to document upload page, there was no place to upload invitation letter or any form regarding my relationship with my sister who is inviting me.
And for my spouse and children I chose:

To visit other family who are not listed above or friends for less than 6 months

Then i got the upload invitation letter for them.
May I know if im doing it right? I also did not see any place to upload my Employment letter, etc...
I appreciate any tips and helps on this matter.

You can combine Invitation letter , SOP and employment letter etc in additional documents section if they have not provided a specific section to upload, You can also include any documents that may strengthen your case .

Invitation letter and financial support documents from your sponsor should be uploaded in other documents section. You said you are going to visit your sister in Canada along with your family. So your sister has to make sure her income and her family's income meets the LICO cutoff for her family and also your family (total number of people including your family.)

LICO isn't a requirement for a TRV. Her sisters financials have no bearing on the approval as there is no financial commitment from the person they are visiting.

I can't second that. I agree that there is no LICO requirement from the host for a TRV. However, if the to-be visitor decides to stay longer (up to 6 months) in Canada on TRV, it will put some strain on the host's finances.

Although the finances of the applicant weighs far more than that of the host in case of a Visitor Visa, you cannot completely ignore the latter.

Yes LICO is not a requirement for visitor visa but by showing documentation that your hosts meet or exceed the LCIO you are trying to convince the VO officer that your hosts are financially stable in Canada and will not seek social security payments during your stay in Canada. I consider this is one way to convince the VO that both the applicant and their hosts are financially stable.

The visitor is usually required to show that they can afford to pay all their expenses while inCanada. Their family in Canada would not qualify for support to support their visiting family members . If they can’t afford visitors and the visitors are also out of funds the visitors are expected to return home earlier
