Visitor Visa for Mother in Law

[sippon77]

Hi All,

I (along with my wife) have a Canada Work Permit (Intra Company Transfer) as I visit toronto for projects. But I live in United States on L1A. My mom-in-law is currently visiting us for a few months. We want her to visit Canada for tourism purpose. What are my options to get her a tourist Visa?

1) Can we apply for here visa to visit Toronto without us accompanying her? What kind of financial support documents will we need to provide for her to travel alone (for sponsoring her travel?) What other travel will need to provide for her travel?

2) Do I have to visit Toronto along with her? (do i need to apply for a tourist visa again or I can use my work permit to visit Tornoto?) Is it easier to get a Visa this way?

Thanks in advance and appreciate any help regarding my queries.

Thanks,
Siva

If you live in Canada you can send her an invitation letter for visiting Canada.
You cannot apply for her visa and she need to apply for it out side Canada, where she live at present.
See he requirement at the CIC website:
