Hi Everyone,

I'm applying for a visitor visa for my parents through IRCC portal as a Group application.

  • Should I write a separate letter of explanation for each of them or a common one would suffice?
  • Both my parents together run a family business, so I've created a common employment letter. Should that suffice?
  • Also should I add myself as a representative on the application?

Appreciate your help.
 
1. One letter.
2. If they run the business then show business registration in their names, taxes, clients etc. What is the commonly employment letter because cannot take leave from own business.
3. If you are the representative, which you are then yes. They aren't applying on their own.

Thank you so much. Reg. employment, I've shown company registration certificate & bank statements & explanation of what position each of them hold in the company.
In the letter of explanation ill specify the manager will look after the operations while they are away.

Anything else you feel I might need to include?

1. Funds: Need to show personal bank statements over the past 4 months. About $10k cash per person for a 2-3 week visit. You invite them and say they can afford their own visit.
2. Length - anything more than a month has shows few ties. They have no family ties to job, income property etc. must be strong.
3. Highlight any travel history to the UK, US, NZ or AUS.
