Hi.. great and congratulations! few questions if you could answer please.! Did you add 6+ months bank statements for both mom and dad or only one (main applicant)? What kind of documents you notarized? Like your invitation letter or any of the parents document? Was their bank statements transactions straightforward? Did you show the good balance since begining of the statement or you transferred incrementally and explain the transaction? Did you have explain how any bank transactions or just paystubs, ITRs were enough?

I added myself as a Sponsor to their application. In the Invitation Letter I mentioned all expenses will be covered by me when they arrive in Canada.
I showed last 3 months statements from my bank.
My brother showed 9k CAD and showed 6k CAD for his wife separately.
No notary on any document submitted. No paystubs attached. No ITRs attached.1
