Need help - Parents Visitor Visa got rejected

[totaldreamer]

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.

Understood. Thank you for all the information. Really helpful.

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?

It took me 28 days. There was some detail to it mentioning that I did not provide any bank statements for the applicants. I did a mistake of not showing any documents for my parents assuming my funds would be enough where in reality, it looks like parents statements are a must for VV.

Yes visitor visas are primarily based on the applicants information not the person in Canada

How long should I wait to apply for SV after VV rejection? I received the rejection on 9th April. I am done getting my parents do their medical test. Now planning to apply to apply for SV. Any insight would be helpful.

There is no exact amount of time.

I applied for SV last week, basically after 3 months. I know the processing time for SV says ~112 days but I got my visitor visa rejection in just a week after biometrics. When can it vary that much and does the same apply for SV ?

Either you are processed very quickly because AI is involved or you are processed manually which takes longer.
