I have a physically weak mother who is suffering from CIDP, a rare disorder of the nervous system causing general weakness in legs and arms. When I applied for the Quebec skilled worker program she was sort of OK. Now that I have obtained my PR visa, her disorder has worsened. Because she is alone and I am single, I am seriously thinking about moving her to Canada.
I understand that the parental sponsorship program is very popular. It takes 3 years for me to qualify and the average processing time for our regional visa office is 53 months! Besides, there is a risk of her being rejected on medical grounds.
Do you think there is a pathway to fast-track her case based on humanitarian grounds? She has the financial capacity to support herself, but desperately needs my emotional support and the presence of a helping hand. If there is no way, I would have to eventually give up my own future in Canada.
P.S. I don't qualify for a Supervisa right now as I don't yet have the minimum 12 months working history in Canada.
