    I think they accept US Passport Size, check with the Canadian embassy or online forums such as trackitt or murthy.

    I guess their visa status wouldn't matter, they may have to prove they can be financially independent to stay and go back from there. The documentation will be similar to regular residents here. I don't know if you can claim them as dependents. About the check, I just applied for my wife and me, I don't even remember if I gave just one check or two. If you are in doubt get a certified check, that way you don't have to worry whose account it's coming from.

    They would need things like Bank Statement showing balance and average balance for the entire year (most important), Pay Stubs if any, Fixed Deposit certificates, property assessment documents, much like what they did for US Visa. I just showed bank balance and pay stubs and that was enough. I am not sure about sending the applications together/separately. I think yourselves needs to apply separately and your parents might need to apply separately. Check with the consulate website or search forums, they may have answers.

    Here are some useful links:

    Oh thank you! That was informative. I actually got a certified cheque from my account for them. And I mentioned that my husband is paying for their trip to Canada so I attached copies of his bank statement and his pay slips. I posted in many forums and u are the only person who has given me this much information! Thanks a lot!!!
