trv for wife and child in China

[jaydazed]

Just some quick q's if any one can give any advice!
I'm in the process of filling out some applications for my wife and son who are living in China. I presently live in China with them(married over 2 years) and would like them to visit my folks and my son's ggparents before they pass away. This is what I have:

1. Invitation letter from my parents since, I'm living in China,stating their income and notice of assessment. Which also states that all expenses will be taken care of for them.
2. Funds about 3000 cdn. She's had no job for the last 1.5 years because we had a child (will provide past bank statements)(actual bank books)
3. We have another daughter that will stay back for schooling, which ties her back

1. Should I fill out the use of representative form in case we need to contact the visa officer(her English is limited)
2. Don't really want to buy return tickets if they get denied! Might help though..but what if?
3.Do i fill out 2 family composition forms or just one for both of them since our son can't sign his own name name.
4. My 6 month old son is smiling in his passport photo, so I'm including the same one for the visa..it's the same sp should be ok..?

Any suggestions that should be included before I send this off?  I may have more q's but can't think of any at the moment! 

Thanks for your help,

Jay

1.  Representative form is in case you are retaining a lawyer.  If you're not, don't fill-out the form.
2.  How about refundable tickets?  If you buy one-way, that really sends the wrong message.
3.  One for everyone 18 y/o.
4.  Sure.

You really should focus on proof that both you and your family intend to return to China.  The fact that your wife isn't working is unhelpful.  So if you can provide documentation that you're being granted a certain period of time for vacation to take your family to Canada, that might help.  Also, if your wife is at least part owner of property in China, that could also help.
