Sponsoring visitor visa for in-laws.

[karthicktalk]

Hi there - Many thanks to each and everyone contributing here and helping all.

I am trying to get the checklist done to sponsor a visitor visa for my in-laws, they hold indian passport. They don't intend to stay in canada permanently, looking for a multiple entry visitor visa.

What are the steps that i need to follow?

I will be solely responsible for their expenses while they stay in canada.

Can i apply online directly? How will they get the visa stamped on their passport?

Thanks in advance.

You can start here:

You may also want to see the Visa Office Instructions + Document Checklist for India applicants + go through this forum for suggestions on how to prepare their applications.

Your in-laws must prove they have the financial resources to afford the visit even though you will take care of their accommodation/ travel and living expenses.

Can i apply online directly?

Yes, you can apply online as their authorized representative.

How will they get the visa stamped on their passport?

If they are approved, the visa office will request for their passports to be submitted to the nearest VFS
