My brother wants to visit Canada from India. In Canada are his parents who are on a super visa and myself his sister who is a Canadian citizen and I live with my husband and 2 kids. He wants to visit for a month alone, in india his wife and 6 year old son are there. Funds in bank account in india are about 8 lakhs, property is not in his name, has a business but does not own the shops he rents. Would this be a strong enough case for him to apply? I know all he can do is apply and try and suggestions or comments?

let him apply alone. his business and family (wife and son) will be strong ties to return back, he should be able to get visa easily. if you need help contact me on 9417894697
 
PLs help , Applied for parents visitors visa ( online application ) on April 24 , 2023 from Hyderabad , India . ( Have US Visitors Visa too and visited US once in the last 5 years )
Biometrics completed : MAY 4
Biometrics status updated on application : MAY 4
Background check : Under processing
Eligibility : Under progress

It shows processing time as 32 days on IRCC website . And they still havent updated anything since MAY 4 ! Is it because of the strike that happened from April 19th to May 1 ?? Its such a long frustating wait !

the processing times are only indicative, doesnt mean sure shot will be processed in 32 days, most visitor visa applications in india are getting their results within a month, so yours is about to get a reply any time. best of luck.

May be difficult given that his parents and his sibling are in Canada. There will e concerns that he is trying to come to Canada to find work although no issue trying.
