Visitor Visa for My Brother While on Employment Insurance

[Karmjeetsingh1994]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently living in Canada and I have a few questions regarding the visitor visa application for my brother. Here are the details of my situation:

1. Current Employment Status: I have been laid off and I am currently collecting Employment Insurance (EI). Will this affect my ability to sponsor my brother's visitor visa application?
2. Invitation Letters: I am planning to write an invitation letter for my brother's visit. Additionally, his college friend, who is also living with me in Canada, is willing to write a second invitation letter. Will having two invitation letters strengthen his application? Is there a specific way we should structure these letters given my current employment situation?
3. Previous Experiences: Are there any examples or experiences from others who were in a similar situation (being on EI or laid off) and successfully sponsored a family member's visitor visa? Any specific tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
4. Supporting Documents: What additional documents should I include to compensate for my current lack of employment? Would detailed financial statements or proof of assets help in this case?

Any insights or advice would be highly valuable. Thank you in advance for your help!
