You have to calculate her flight ticket ,since you will be providing accomdation and money should still be left in the account atleast she cannot use all her savings for the trip ..so currently if ticket is like 1200usd then you expect she should have minimum 2000 to 3000 or more eqvivalent in naira on her account but if you working in canada you can add ur payslip ..so it like a share responsibilty you care for her feeding and accomdation abd she only pay for flight ticket as stated in the invitation letter

Thank you so much for your assistance.

I have another question please, what is the minimum amount she should have in her account? Just to be on the safe side



Notarize invitation letter is not compulsory but a simple detailed invitation letter is ok
since she is in partnership with an organization, tell the organization to write a letter with their letter-headed paper explain her role and share in the company and signed
Does she need to provide statement of account? yes,if she is to sponsor herself she has to show her proof of fund
and about her late husband , attached the deed and this should be explain in additional letter attached to her application
The property she is currently occupying is self-purchased, but she bought it in her children’s name, can she still claim it as hers and does she need to provide documentation for it. yes and explain in the letter

Finally, attached you pr card ,your birth certificate and proof of accommodation like your rent agreement,electricity or gas bill in your name and a detailed letter of invitation explaining where she will stay , why you want your mother to visit Canada and why she will return to Nigeria because her other children and aged mother back home and also a business....inviting parent to Canada is more simpler process..i applied for my father in similar situation,even is landed properties and farms are scattered everywhere ,we got a Nigeria lawyer to detail the properties in his chamber letter-headed paper explaining the property and i pay the lawyer 10k naira,including letter from his church as a leader ,also letter from his business partner and his social club. l only added my Nigeria and Canada bank as the sponsor and he got the visa valid till the end of his passport .got a 3 month ticket for him but na by God grace he stay for one month and na change i change ticket for early return to Nigeria .he said he need to go check is chicken,goats and farm crop but i guess papa just bored with cold))[/quote]

Hello gurus in the house, please I need your assistance, I am a PR holder and want to invite my mother to visit. I have a few questions concerning supporting documents:

1. Should I notarize my invitation letter?
2. My mum is sponsoring herself, she is a widow, with three daughters and an aged mother. She is an entrepreneur but does not have a company, she is in partnership with an organization, what does she need to provide as evidence?
3. Does she need to provide statement of account?
4. Also, she has properties left to her by my late father, he did not have a will behind, but she now owns them, does she need to submit papers for the properties? The documentation for the deeds is still in his name.
5. The property she is currently occupying is self-purchased, but she bought it in her children’s name, can she still claim it as hers and does she need to provide documentation for it.

Finally, I guess what I am asking is what supporting documents should be provided for visiting visa for my mum?
