I meet LICO requirements. Alone as well as with my spouse. Medical and Insurance will be done. Just one question. With my parent's employment it would contradict asking 6 months stay. I am confused on the stay
Need help - Parents Visitor Visa got rejected

Order GCMS notes first and then reapply for TRV or SV.
Frankly, I don't understand the criteria being used as it is not quantitatively and clearly defined for visitor visa unlike a super visa. I had a friend who got an approval for visit visa for parents for a stay of 2 months with 12000$ combined CASH which according to everyone in these threads is definitely not enough. It is very subjective. I have thus decided to go via the SV route and will be reapplying this week.
Please apply for GCMS notes first before reapplying as that will clarify the rejection in detail. The 15k funds you mention, was it in their savings account ? How much was the liquid fund section in CA assessment ?
I applied for GCMS notes yesterday. But I do not know when will I receive it. I am not willing to wait on it for applying SV. I am expecting a baby and due in July. My parents want to be a part of it.
The 15k funds were all in their Savings account. Other 38k-40k were in Mutual Funds. IN CA evaluation I showed their property worth - 270k combined. And CA evaluation for gold worth 65k combined.
15k were all in Savings. I researched on the section 179b they have refused on the grounds on Insufficient fund and Purpose of visit not being consistent. It seems like the Funds were low for the duration I mentioned (1 month 10days). They did not consider any investment statements. It feel like I made a silly mistake for the duration of the stay. I should have shown only 2-3 weeks. Also in invitation letter I mentioned that it is me and my husband who were going to take care of the expenses. We provided every detail from our side. Bank statement, pay stubs, our home ownership papers. Everything possible. But it seems like the officer did not went through the file properly or did not consider anything what we provided from our side. They just saw the Savings balance my parents had.
If the 15k was not liquid then it would not be considered available funds to travel and neither would things like gold. IRCC generally wants to see that visitors can afford to pay for their own travel and have the funds available because there have been issues where there is a family breakdown where family members end up with minimal funds to stay in a hotel, eat and fly home. You can highlight that they will be staying in your home but would not say that you will fund their visit.
Attach a letter indicating that due to a TRV refusal they are applying for a supervisa but due to commitments back home like employment (attach leave letters) they are only planning for a short visit to Canada of - days. Would state that the primarily goal of the travel was to meet their grandchild.
Thanks for the reply. The 15k amount I mentioned was all liquid. All in Savings account.
This is helpful. I will attach the letter. Except they do not have grandchild yet. In such case what would you suggest for me to do?
Hey! A question. When you applied for GCMS notes in how many days did you get the response? The note given by the officer were relatable and detailed regarding what they mentioned in the Refusal Letter?
Are they not coming to Canada primarily to meet their new grandchild? Doesn’t matter that the child is not born when filing.
You are right. They are willing to travel to meet their grandchild. But I've heard from so many people that mentioning about a new grandchild puts a negative impact on the application, officer thinking that they would be here for domestic help and might not leave Canada. This is another area of confusion for me.
Expectant parents run into issues because they do things like get medical notes saying they need parents to come provide support/help during pregnancy and after the child is born. Unless there is a medically complex pregnancy then no medical note is needed and may create more problems. For example if woman is in and out of the hospital then a medical note would be warranted and parents visiting for medical reasons would be reasonable to provide emotional support. Applicants also mention things like helping around the house and help caring for the baby in their application. This can be interpreted as working illegally and creates concerns this may be a longterm arrangement especially if parents ask to visit for many months. The language used is really important. Wanting to visit Canada to meet their new grandchild and visit their child and their child’s spouse is a very normal reason for a visit. If it is a relatively short visit with proof of approved leave and jobs to return plus any other ties to their home country then there is a high chance of supervisa approval if child/their spouse meets LICO and they have savings.
