Father waiting for Visitor Visa/Priority Processing Inquiry

[alvi.rahman]

Hi, I applied for my father's visitor visa in July 19th 2020. I am a Canadian PR and he mentioned that in his application. We also wrote an email explaining the situation for them to come here soon, as my siblings live in Canada as well (work permits) and we have been away from our parents for 16months now. My mom has her visa which is valid till July 2021.

There is no update regarding my father's application on IRCC website and we are concerned whether there are any issues with his application. My brother is looking to get married this spring and everything is on hold due to my parents not being here. His partner is a Canadian Citizen and so is her whole family, will it be effective if we wrote a letter to explain the situation by getting all members' of the family's signatures (form of a petition)? Can I do anything else to get more info on the application or to get the process expedited? Can anyone kindly advise?

Stressing that all his children are in Canada actually has a negative impact on his application. There will be concerns that your parents will not leave Canada if all your siblings are in Canada. Your parents need to prove that their ties to their home country are strong enough that they will only visit Canada temporarily. There are many in Canada with parents who live in the same province who have not seen their parents for 16+ months. There is a pandemic, unfortunately seeing family is not always possible.
