1. Do post the list of documents (your sister + you as the host) which you intend to submit

2. Which year of college is your sister studying?

3. Will your parents also be applying for TRVs/have been granted TRVs?

4. How long does your sister intend to visit? Which month?

5. Has she traveled to any other countries such as the US/UK/Schengen/Australia or NZ/Japan?

Actually am not the host. Its my cousin. We are submitting the marriage card and invitation letter from host and my father's bank balance, property evaluation, and income details .

My sister is studying in first year of master's degree.

My parents don't have visa and they are not applying.
My sister is coming in this September

No, she has no travel history before.

As your sister is in the first year of a Masters degree, she has started this study program pretty recently and she is not even mid-way through it. This means her study ties - which are her only ties - are NOT strong.

IMO, she must not apply for a TRV until she is in the second year of her Masters degree. It's your call though.


If she decides to apply then:
Actually am not the host. Its my cousin. We are submitting the marriage card and invitation letter from host and my father's bank balance, property evaluation, and income details .
It would be better if you invite your sister, not your cousin. Don't think about *host* as what one considers typically for social events.

You must provide an invitation letter + copies of your passport + PR card + your NOA/T4 + your bank statement (reasonable balance), etc.


Purpose of visit:
Keep her visit to 2 weeks max.

Don't limit purpose of visit to just the cousin's wedding. Prepare a day-by-day detailed plan with expense estimates like a typical tourist + your cousin's wedding (his/her wedding invitation + other proofs of the wedding and reception).

For your sister's finances:
A Letter of Financial Support from your dad + his 6 months' bank statement + any other financial investments (liquid funds) + his ITRs + if she has any add-on credit card (primary card owned by your dad) + 2-3 months' credit card statements

Your dad's property is irrelevant as your sister does not own it.

For your sister's study proofs:
Letter from the college stating she is a bona fide student and approved leave from XX to XX dates + tuition fee receipt + college brochure/website + any mark sheet or transcripts + student ID + any exams/project work that's scheduled after her return

If she is a member of any volunteer or charity organization or sport club.... and must return for a specific event after her Canada visit (evidence of this)
