Yes this is my first H&C application for my parents.
Factors :-
1. They are aged and have no siblings/parents back home, all immediate relatives are in Canada, United States and Scotland.
2. Their elder son (my brother) is a patient of Schizophrenia and is dependent on his father for which got a recommendation letter from his doctor in a Civic Hospital. (My brother is a Canadian Permanent Resident)
3. My father is a social worker and always contribute more than 1000 Volunteer hours every year in Canada for different organizations.
4. My father is on Work Permit and contributing to Canadian Economy.
5. Some other factors like investment in Canada so far and proposed investment plan.
Thanks for sharing. I also have HC for my parents. BIOC is main factor, establishment in Canada, no relatives back home (no parents, siblings, children or grandchildren). Also adverse country conditions. 1st HC was refused. We are waiting for second. Theyve been on super visa for 10 years, we didnt make it to PGP. Now if they leave chances of coming back is very small cause they have no ties back home. Plus they have HC refusal so most likely they’ll never be able to come back as visitors if they leave. PGP is not available and govt does not promise us anything even after 10 years so only option left is HC to be reunited with family.
