Hi Everyone,

I applied for my parent's visitor visa on October 12th. They completed their biometrics on October 15th but I got a visa refusal(on dec 11) for them. I was inviting them for a month because I am pregnant (Due in end of March 2025). I am here on work permit and my husband is a Canadian citizen and my spousal permanent residence application is left with background verification. My parents showed 30,000 cad bank balance and 1.5 million dollars property evaluation signed by Indian CA. They also showed their business and tax returns from last 3 years. My mom is house wife and my dad run two business. This is the refusal message they received.

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR .I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:

• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable)."

Can someone help in figuring what must have gone wrong? I thought inviting them into Canada on parental support during my pregnancy would be a solid reason to get the visa quickly. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Shiva, same case as yours. Pregnant and due mid march 2025, parents visitor visa refused, first applied in October, refusal received Nov mid, same reasons as yours.
Again applied with some changes on 29th December and again refusal received Today within 5 days, not sure how they processed?. now one reason of purpose of travel is not consistent is same and second reason they mentioned you have sufficient ties in Canada. Don't know what they mean about this reason.
So much confused and frustrated. I am on work permit and spouse is on closed work permit. No PR application, no properties here.. It seems they are not even going through the documents.

If you think you have a solid documentation
You should raise a webform ( they call it reconsideration)
You can check on YouTube for the procedure
Or get a agent to help with your application
What have you changed in your new application?
enough bank balance ?
- try short trip like 2 weeks or so
- Show enough ties back home ( property valuation, itr )

I am thinking about re applying again
But collecting more information about it
Please do let us know what have you changed in your new application
And yes if I were you I will find a agent and consult with them for sure
Good luck

Thinking of reconsideration only as for now, I have added notarized affidavit with details along with invitation letter, medical certificates from the doctor for both of my parents and added more financial documents, also mentioned that me and my husband are the sponsor for all their expenses though they are financially stable. Trip mentioned was short only 3-4 weeks. Earlier it was 2 months, this time mentioned only 3-4 weeks. Mentioned the property, investments and family back home. My mom is retired banker, mentioned that she has to visit bank for manual filling of her life certificate to continue receiving her pension. Don't know what they are looking for.
All the best to you too. Hoping the best for both of us.

What did you put it in your purpose of visit ? And what did you mention on your doctor note
I heard family visit and visiting their grandkid . it’s the best way to go rather than inviting them for helping you during the pregnancy!!
On top of that use gc key portal not the new one ( I heard they use AI software to filter all the documents on new portal )

Purpose of visit includes both Celebrating the arrival of grandchild and spending some family time together. Doctor's note was about pregnancy support though. Used the GC key portal both times.

Did they update the eligibility as completed? Or directly refused application?
