Hi,

I applied for a Canada visitor visa on July 23rd. Completed my biometrics on 28th. I was going through the forums after and found about many rejection cases. I was wondering if I need to provide any additional documents or details to strengthen my visa.

I am planning to visit my brother and sister-in-law for this christmas and stay with them for 2 weeks . I have applied from UK as I work here as a software engineer. Its a well paid job and I have been working here for the past 2.5 years. I know the processing times are long especially from UK, but I have also read about visas getting approved in 1-2 months for many. So, I am staying optimistic.

I am an Indian citizen (not married). My parents are in India and I have no ties in UK other than my job.

Previous travel history (in 10 years) : Visited Germany -Last year and Visited Kuwait in 2017
Submitted documents : Bank statements for last 4 months with enough money to cover my 2 weeks stay (I will be staying at my brother's place which is mentioned in the invitation letter)
Payslips last 4 months
Cover letter and invitation letter explaining I will return to UK as I have to resume my work
Travel Insurance to cover unexpected expenses
Details of person inviting me (my sister-in-law as my brothers PR application is in progress)
Letter from employer
My UK visa
Do you think I need to provide documents to prove my relationship with the invitee and more ties to home country ? Any suggestion on what I can add to show strong ties?
 
2 weeks stay is quite a long time, you should have pretty much enough money.

The fact that you will be staying at your brother's place doesn't reduce a funds requirement.

From what I see you have more ties in Canada which might be an issue.
