hello everyone - i wanted to apply for my parents visit visa (they had approved visa in 2018 - expired on June 2023). My father and mother visit once in 2022 (3months) and my mother travelled again in 2023(2 months)

Two questions:

  1. How much duration of visit should i mention in purpose of visit or invitation letter considering their last visits?
  2. Have you travelled to other countries in the previous 10 years? the answer for this question should be Yes? If i select Yes in questionnaire it ONLY require Travel History form for my father (who is primary applicant) but for my mother it never ask. and final document checklist doesn't have Travel History form required for mother.

@bellaluna @canuck78 appreciate if you can advise.

Hello
Your duration should be less than 6 months. Recommend 2 months

secondly, you have to mention travel history of all countries, Canada as well.

important thing mention that my parent came before in Canada and return before their visa expire.
Definitely applications will get approve.

I think even if there's no travel history form for your mother, you can always provide this form
