Thank you for your prompt reply. They got refused for trv. I didnt submit any written authorization as the website says it will be processed with the visa if they satisfied purpose is essential travel.
Trv for parents
- Thread starter IF321
- Start date
Hard to keep track. Thought I remembered extended family of WP holders getting TRVs but then being denied special authorization. May be remembering incorrectly.
So is it better to get the written authorization first and if it is approved then apply?
Hi,
This is the quote from the ircc website, based on this wp holders don't qualify to invite?
- immediate family members with written authorization from IRCC to reunite with a temporary resident of Canada (see Uniting with immediate family members for more information)
No, read the enlarged letters: Immediate family members who want to unite with a Canadian Citizen,person registered under Canada's Indian Act or peranent resident. You are none of these.
Hi, yes true but when you scroll down the following heading is there. What this means? Thank you
"Immediate family members: How to unite with someone who is in Canada temporarily"
Immediate family members of PR and Citizens don’t need authorization that is what I was referring to. Your parents need an approved visa and authorization. Their refusal states that officers don’t think a visit is essential at this time due to Covid. This also is because you are temporary workers and don’t have the same “benefits” as the parents of PRs. They can apply again but need strong profile to show funds, short visit, ties to home country but given the reason for their refusal, they may need to reapply when travel restrictions ease.
They have changed the process and you no longer apply for special authorization through IMM0006 which is why I was getting confused. You now submit a webform. You can certainly apply again but other people in similar positions seem to also get denied. There may also be a travel ban so that would make travel impossible.
