Hi,
My parents submitted their visitors visa documents to VFS mumbai, but unfortunately their visa got rejected, saying they did not show enough proof of their family-ties back in India. If they were to re-apply, what are the chances of them getting the visa? Also, do you think it is better to go through an agent or a lawyer?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Suna

a lawyer would not help. you are caught in the same situation many others are... CIC is seeing little motivation for your parents to return home at the end of their visit and CIC does not want to risk having your parents overstay their visa - becoming illegal.
do your parents own property, have a business in India that would prompt them to return? They have to find a way to prove they will go home.

A good way is to present a good case. Have them at least book their ticket (not buy) to show when they want to come and go back.
Also a letter from you undertaking their visit helps. This shows that you and your parents really are planning this as a visit.
Last but not the least documents such as property, bank statements, retirement accounts in India itself.
If all fails - then I guess only thing that remains is to actually sponsor them for PR. It is sad that so many PRs actually happen not because they want a PR but out of no other option to keep in touch with their family, as in your case.

Thankyou for the instant reply. Actually, we did send all the possible documents both from our side and their side, from bank statements, flight tickets (including the return tickets) to property documents and pension documents. We are very disappointed this did not work out :(
The only thing we can think of now is to re-apply for their visa. Do you think going to Delhi and having a face-to-face appointment with the Consular officer will make a difference? Any other solution?
Please help.

No, I don´t believe a face to face interview is going to work. I believe only the applicant is allowed to enter for visa interviews.
With all the documents you have submitted - I´m surprised at them rejecting the visa. What they look are enough ties to home country which you have shown.
Can you share what questions besides general questions they asked your parent?
What you can try is apply through a travel agent - they charge about 1000 Rs to get these done and know what needs to be done to apply a good application.
A letter from your local parliament member may also help.

Also try to apply this time for a shorter duration - i.e a month and half maximum. When they have some one time; they may get a longer stay visa next time.

Well, they submitted their documents to the new VFS mumbai center. They were not asked a single question when they submitted the documents. And within 2 days they got a courier, with their passports and a letter stating "the consular officer is not convinced they will come back" and the case is closed. Its really sad, as I said we submitted all the supporting documents..don´t know why they rejected it.

What was the question asked?
Try to order the visa file. You as a Canadian can order it for 5$
It will have the alarm flag for future application.

I think the only option is to apply again. Result might vary depending on the scrtunizing officer. And highly recommend a face to face interview. That way you can guide the official to the property papers etc. which would prove to be a compelling reason to return. By the way r u a PR in Canada??

do you really think CIC believes your wife would go home at the expiry of her visa? Everything would suggest she would stay rather than go - and you just proved it by sponsoring her for PR!
