Hello everyone! I'm currently in the process of applying for a visitor visa for my parents from India to Canada. After consulting with my agent, he strongly advised including a genuine and urgent reason in the cover letter - that we need my parents' assistance in looking after and raising our one-year-old baby. Both my husband and I have demanding tech jobs, and due to project commitments, we cannot take an extended leave to travel and meet them in India.
It's important to note that my parents' visa application was previously refused, but we didn't mention the reason for their visit as "helping with our son" at that time.
I've come across some discussions where people claim that this particular reason often leads to visa rejections (though the exact reasons are unclear to me). However, my parents firmly believe that this is the most valid and significant reason for their visit. I'm seeking your advice and suggestions on this matter. Thank you all!
