The short answer is yes. You can build up a good case and invite him to your graduation. It is a very valid case. I applied for my parents' visitor visa when I was a student and they got approval.

But it not only depends on that. Approvals also depend on travel history, economic support, ties to the home country, and others.

He should show ties to his home country such as employment, property ownership and other assets - and also show he has sufficient funds to pay for his trip to Canada. Keep the trip to Canada to a reasonable length as well.

So he is a Temporary Resident of Kuwait and Since he is working in Kuwait, you can show his employment proofs and pay stubs this establishes that he will leave Canada. Also submit the copy of Kuwait Visa or work permits.

Yes you can but who so ever is filing the application should make it rock solid to avoid rejection. Note he should apply from Kuwait and not from India since he is staying in Kuwait for work.

if he wants to visit you, and can give enough proof of his tie outside of Canada, apply for a visitor visa.
granduation ceremony doesn't need to be the reason for a trip to visit his son.
Remember that this is his application. He needs to show that he has enough funds and have a job to return to after visitng.
