Hi,

I would like to call my parents on visitor visa for a "month" in 2015. I am currently pursuing studies at Master level as an international student.

My brother would be Permanent Resident (by the time they will come).

My father owns a business (Since 1989) and my mother is Govt. teacher (Since 1999). They both have property under their name.

1. What are the chances of a successful Visitor visa?
2. What other documents can they attach in order to strengthen the application?
3. What (How much) funds they need to show (in CAD)?
4. My Brother (PR) and my Uncle (Canadian Citizen) would be providing invitation letter to them, stating that lodging expenses would be borne by them.

Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

Regards
Abhi

Depends on the documentation you provide.

You didn't mention any documents.

Depends on what you are planning to do. Make sure funds are lose for whatever is in the itinerary.

Good.
Thanks Jalex23 for your input.

Regarding documents can we attach documents (of parents) like

1. Business Registration docs
2. Employer Letter stating a month holiday
3. Property documents
4. Pay slips, Income tax return for past year, Salary certificates.

Does these document prove sufficient home ties?

They are coming to visit my uncle (approx 7 days (ON)) and then to us (around 21 days (SK)).

Regards
Abhi

Even if other people will help them financially that is a long trip, so my only worry would be that it might be a little too much to ask for. DO they have travel history for similar lengths in countries that require VISA?

Also don't forget to include proof of the inviters financial status, such as bank statements, with the invitation letter.

Done.. :) (as per your signature :p )

Sure, I will include the financial status of inviters.

Nope, they don't have any travel history..

What would you suggest then?

Be honest and write a good invitation letter, keep ion mind that maybe 4 weeks is a little too much, ask for 3. The ties of your parents are good and maybe they can get a TRV but I wouldn't push it.

Other than that just be careful when submitting your documents and everything should be good.
