Visa for Retired with past Visa

[kumarh2020]

Hi everyone, my aunt has had 4 visitor visas to Canada between 1985 and 2022, last on expiring in May 2022 as her passport had only 2 years validity when she got her last visa.
She traveled to Canada in 1985, 2000, 2012, 2019, and 2022.

She's now retired, but she's still giving support and guides new PhD students. She's a PhD in fine arts by profession and education.

Can she apply again for a new visitor visa and how should she apply?
She can use our address to state she would be staying with us. Does she need a letter of invite? Or her own profile, visa history, travel history to Canada and returns, will be good enough?

Yes she can apply for a new TRV and apply online. You can include an invitation letter. It is not mandatory but usually helpful for approval. If you have included one in the past it would seem odd if you didn’t include one this time but it is a personal decision. The fact that she has a long history of visiting Canada and I assume respecting the immigration rules and not overstaying will help her application. Proof of her ties to her home country and proof of her assets especially liquid savings will be important.
