I am applying visa for my parents (in the application where my father is primary applicant CIC has marriage certificate as required document, there is no such certificate with us as marriage happened 40+ years back but both my mother and father have their name included in each other's passport as spouse).

What can be done to get around this here, suggestions anyone?

Their passports stating the spouse names + your birth certificate would be okay

that can be provided, I just asked for a certificate from local magistrate at India (notarized) to prepare a document which would mention they both are married and this will become a legal document then.

I believe canada visa is based on luck only they don’t look at papers properly..if you are lucky you will be granted visa with very weak application on the other hand,they refuse strong applications .it all depend on the mood of visa officer. Don’t know what’s going on in their minds

I am sure officer must have assessed using specified parameters, if he found the application ineligible then I'd respect that decision; will work on making the case strong (I knew before applying the case was weak)

Did you include an explanation letter citing all the above. I usually include one or more letters of explanation which addresses specific concerns they might have with respect to:
1. Motivation to return: For example, well paid job (employment letter etc.) and payslips to match, property details etc.
2. Funds: ITR, bank statements
3. Invitation: Being specific about what the plan and itinerary are helps. For example, just mentioning that I am going to visit my cousin sometimes doesnt cut it. But including information like "I havent seen him\her in many years", "We are having a family reunion", "on the occasion of a wedding\birthday" etc. helps

Address them in separate sections of the Letter of Explanation and provide proof for each as part of the explanation itself. I usually include a table with references to page numbers for each proof too.

I agree that different visa officers could use different yardsticks to determine if you are eligible but helping them with information that is readily available is usually for our own benefit. But the yardsticks cannot be very different as they would have to stick to a set of standard guidelines. If the visa was refused, it is more likely that they saw a red flag that is not obvious to us applicants.

We did Write cover letter mentioning we want to visit our cousin During our son’s summer vacations but haven’t provided day by day travel itinerary..We are planning to reapply leaving our son behind as ties to home country as our parents already have canada TRV till passport expiry maybe that’s the reason visa officer didn’t consider them as ties .this time we are planning to submit letter of explanation as you suggested with day by day itinerary with expenses estimate..But first let’s see when they return our passports..Maybe this time visa officer consider our application worthy of trv approval.
Thanks for your suggestions
