Applying to a visitor visa with my parents

[Pinkwalker]

I want to apply to a visitor visa with my parents. My mom currently resides with me in our home country, but my father is working Saudi Arabia till end of summer.
Should we apply all together? I am worried that if my dad applies from Saudi Arabia they'll require him to get his passport stamped there after he leaves the country for good.

Has anyone gotten their passport stamped from a different visa office they applied through?


Thanks ahead.

Are you currently being sponsored by your spouse? Are you married? If not marrie how old are you? If you are a married adult you can’t apply with your parents. Your parents will have to apply separately. They can apply together or on the same application.

I am married and 28 years old. I think I will be applying alone then.
Do you know if they live in different countries it would affect the application being applied together?

Yes you will have to apply separately from your parents. They can apply together even if living in separate countries. You can request stamping in separate countries. If you are currently being sponsored there are quite a lot of obstacles facing your TRV applications especially since you father is ending his employment this summer. There will be concerns that you are all trying to remain in Canada and are not true visitors. How long are you all applying to visit? Are you currently employed?

The request of stamping from separate countries is submitted in beginning or after the approval is provided?
I am currently employed and we were planning on visiting for a month to attend a friend's wedding.

Stamping could be requested in separate locations already. If you want to minimize complications applying separately would be best.

Thanks a lot!

Given that you are currently being sponsored getting approval for your family to attend the wedding may be quite difficult to get. Do not purchase any flights before you know yo7 have been approved. That’s a good general rule but your applications will be viewed differently than others appliying to visit for a wedding because of the ongoing sponsorship.
