Hi All,
Which option to select for parents visitor visa application from the New Portal. Looks like the options have changed since I checked the last time in December.
These are the new relevant options, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

a. To visit my grandparent, grandchild, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling or non-dependent child who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada
b. To visit other family who are not listed above or friends for less than 6 months

You can’t invite her since you are not in Canada. She needs to show her own funds, travel history, ties to home country etc. She is not reuniting with you in Canada.

new application asks if u have uci number, enter there n it will fetch data like biometric, medicals(if valid)from your old application, but you will have to fill up all other details ( which will not b automatically fetched from old!) n also pay fee again. biometric n medical will not be linked immediately but most cases its seen updated in new application within a week, also when they start considering new application, you get email saying old has been withdrawn
