Dear Experts:

I need your guidance for the following.

I am self-employed in Toronto, Canada and wish to bring my parents on visitor visa....

How much income I need to show to sponsor them ?
Is there any other way rather than paying more taxes to sponsor them for visitor visa ?
wat are the other factors which should be considered for successful of the application ?

Your guidance will be really appreciated.

regards,

Hi !
Last Year I sponsored ( invited ) my parents on visitor visa ,,,
I am also self empolyed ..What I did is got T5 ( with a nominal declaration ) from my accountant ( In last 4 yrs I have not filed more than 32000 as my annual income )
I had not too many supporting doc's except that I had my house and a bank balance of around 15000CAd ..
My parents were retired and this was the first time they traveled abroad.
I perosnallly belive that a income that can sustain their visit should be enough . In most cases visa officer assess if the applying person has sufficient ties to return back ..
( My personal suggestion is that be honest and just present all facts carefully )
WIsh u all the luck ..
