Work permit couple - Visitor visa for parents

[humbled]

Hi All,

I am on closed work permit and my spouse is on open work permit. We would like to invite our in-laws to Canada and is trying to apply for their visitor visa.

Considering that we are work permit holders,

-- are we allowed to issue invitation letters for our parents and mention that we will be funding their tickets, insurance and stay in Canada ?
-or
--should the parents fund their trip and insurance ?

Wanted to understand if folks on work permits have been able to sucessfully bring their parents and sponsor the expenses.

Yes you can write letter. Funding their visit is a red flag. They need to show their own funds, travel history, ties to home country and reasons to travel. If you were PR or citizen, you could apply for a super visa, and show NOA meeting LICO. You funding a visit shows that they cannot afford to come to Canada and IRCC may think they will not leave.

I will like to make an inquiry about LMIA payment.. Is it the Employer who has to pay the $1000 or the Applicant “Employee”…?

Also, will the money be paid voluntarily paid from the Employer’s possession or it has to come from the Applicant “Employee”?

What does this have to do with a TRV for parents?

You should start your own thread. LMIA must be paid by the employer.
