Yeah! my sister is not dependant.

I am uncomfortable in applying my parents and sisters case together (I mean, mail their papers to embassy together) because in an invitation letter, my brother will write that my parents will return within the scheduled period as my younger brother and sister are not accompanying them. In my view this will be a major commitment for my parents to return to their hometown.

If this will not increase the chances to get visa, then why should I go for two invitation letters (one for my parents and one for my sister). I will tell my brother to write one invitation letter for my parents and sister and I will mail their applications together.

Please advice.

Kind Regards
Ask your brother to write invitation letters for your sister and parents separately although in the same vein, like just an invitation for a visit not having seen each other for two years... and since both your parents and your sister would not be needing support during their stay in Canada, it need not be notarized. He has to send them the invitation letters so they can attach them to their respective applications. They can still send the applications together if that is allowed in the visa office they are submitting their application to. Here is a link I found with a sample invitation letter. Ask your brother not to copy it verbatim and changing only the specifics. http://www.canadiandesi.com/read.php?TID=11065 And there are no iron clad applications. It all depends upon how the visa officer sees the applications. It could go either way, so why not think and pray the result is positive. For a first time application it is best to choose a single entry one.

Hi,

You have been given choices. We can not make the choice for you. Your sister has a chance at getting approved through her own merits. Your parents if they can show enough ties to want to go back to your country after the visit then they may get approved too. You mentioned your sister is one of the reasons your parents would want to go back to your country for, but she is applying too. There are no iron clad applications that would guarantee 100% approval. We can only hope. All the best.

Personally, the invitation letter, together with a copy of his proof of status (PR id) would suffice because he's not providing any financial commitment anyway.
