If you holding Qubec PR ..Pls check whether u can sponsor ur parents for Super Visa as certain documents need to be submitted from your side.

if ur in canada then u can apply for SUPER VISA for ur parents.

Super Visa is valid for 10 years..and on entry...2 years stay is permitted.

Thank you for the +1

Income source is what they see mostly....u can apply even if you dont have job and...if u have good bank balance.....n proof for from where you got the money.....but u just cant say that u never worked or did any business..

But tax returns need to be submitted :P

chances are bright....she is old as well she has income source.

pension is a income source as also u can show rental as income source if she gets any.

even these documents are not required if u sponsor her...for the stay...by showing your income/bank balance/tax returns

super visa is advisable if u can afford...i mean insurance

or else visit visa....by submitting her and your documents as well. :P

the diff between visit and super visa is stay period....visit it 6 month stay is allowed....for super visa 2 years on each visit till 10 years.
 
Thanks alot Canadestin for detail reply. As u said, i think super visa is the right option. Plz guide me where i should start from. I mean what is the starting point of applying for super visa. It shall be great if you let me know about a good lawyer in montreal who can help me preparing all the docs so that visa is not rejected. Thanx
