Should my mother NOT apply for visitor visa until I complete 6 months of study?

[nevillek]

I wanted my mother to visit me after a month of studies but I read somewhere that an international student who isn't a minor requires to complete atleast 6 months of studies and only then can he invite the parent over by sending a letter of invitation?

Is this true? I really wanted to call my mother for a few weeks right away next month but now am scared of rejection of her visitor visa... and potential damage to her chances of getting a visitor visa in the future too..

Experts please advise..

I know two people whose parents asked for TRV before they completed 6 months of studies. I guess it all depends on your profile and common sense. Do your parents have strong ties to home country? Do they have enough money? Why they want to visit you so soon? How long will your program last? Attaching a letter explaining things in a simple and straight forward way helps too. Etc.

You should read carefully the Visitor's visa page at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/tourist.asp

Did they get it though? My mother has enough finance but my dad is working in the US since few years. Also, mother has nobody back at home to look after. Thing is, if the TRV gets rejected even once, it sets a bad rep.

P.S. She wants to come visit me SO SOON because she's all alone here. Does that go for or against getting the TRV?

wait for a big festival , book her return tickets nd put them in the application (baad me wapse ki cancel kara dena) Since u have no home ties, this is the only way i could think of...

one of my consultants asked me to wait till Christmas/new year week den apply...!! just an idea...wait for more options

They got the visas, but apparently they had strong ties to the home country. Your case is kind of special. If were you I would consult a professional.

This will go against getting the TRV. It will be interpreted as lack of ties to her home country.
