Your sister has huge red flags for trying to remain in Canada. If her goal is to live in Canada would start learning French unless she works in a few select NOCs. The other big issue is your other sibling who may struggle to get to Canada.

My experience is very recent. My parents visitor VISA got approved only few days ago and as mentioned, I only submitted their passport copy. There is a section that asks who is paying for the expense etc. and I mentioned it's me(son) and I provided my Bank balance from past 3 months as asked by IRCC and also provided my paystubs to clearly highlight money is not a problem. Clarifying everything in a letter and followed what they asked to the dot. I also know another person who did the same perhaps 6 months ago and his parents visitor visa also got approved.
TRV: Outland from India. - family visit.
MIL & FIL visas for wife's pregnancy. Applied on Dec 10th 2025.
Ircc processing timeline - around 100 - 115 days. Values seen in last one month. Currently at 99 days.

Please don’t submit 72 pages for a TRV and you actually should submit bank statements for parents. This approval was primarily done by AI but if manual review bank statements of the applicants are important. Unless a pregnancy that is high risk that involves hospitalization or other limitations getting a doctor’s note or mentioning pregnancy can actually can harm an application.
Could you provide some background about relationship to anyone here, purpose of visit, what you provided, your marital status etc.
My Son is a Citizen of Canada, purpose of visit - seeing him & tourism, provided my Bank statement , marriage certificate - that's it !!! I already had both US as well as Canada visa ( expired in 2024) .

Hello,
Applied for minor children visitor visas - Dec 14

I live in Canada but my children live in Nigeria. Hoping to get their visas soon as it's passed the 38 days processing time as of yesterday. Any tips or ideas on what I can do to facilitate the process is extremely helpful. Thank you.

Processing is an estimate and with holidays, time will be added. Depending on your status, it could take longer as they need to show funds, ties to return and travel history. You can raise a webform.
