My uncle (mom's brother), who is a retired state government employee in india, wishes to visit my family here in canada. He is 62 years old, has a home in india on his name, receives pension. I wish to have him apply for his visa.
My mother's parent name written on her passport are spelled differently on than on my uncle's passport. Will that create any issues? Or should I just have him apply own his own instead of issuing an invitation? Would you be able to guide the best approach?

How different? What about the names/spellings of their parents on their birth certificates or school records?

It's advisable to include an invitation letter especially if the applicant has not traveled abroad earlier

Would I not have to prove the relationship, and since their parents name don't match, would that not create issue?

I have not checked but, I will, should I recommend that one of them get these corrected? back in days things were different and these details were not very prominent,

It is not so critical for your uncle's application as he is only applying for a TRV.

Alternatively, if your mom has been granted a TRV then you could include a copy of her Family Information form where she had declared your uncle as her brother + you can simply state he is your maternal uncle
