Visitor visa applied for my mother and 23 years old brother. I'm a permanent resident with a very good white-collar job.
Paper application
Applied: Aug 14, 2018, Jalandhar, India
got two acknowledgment emails (I don't remember the dates)
I got an update in GCkey account on Sep 25, 2018.
My mother's visa was approved.
My brother's visa was rejected stating a very generic reason "Given economic conditions, employment prospects, considering your travel history, economic establishment, and family ties, I am not satisfied that you would respect the terms of your admission as a temporary resident in Canada."
He has good ties, have been outside India once, a genuine job. Also, he was coming here to attend my engagement. We attached all the venue bookings etc.
I also tried to find the reason from reason in GCMS notes and it's same, no proper explanation. I'm reapplying his visa with some more documents and trying to make the case stronger.
Can anyone suggest which route should be better, Paper or Online application? What else could be done in this case?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
