Period of stay and funds to travel

[Ray_Of_Hope]

Dear All,

This is in reference to application of Temporary Resident visa for mother (trying for 10 years multiple entry from Pakistan). My sister is in Canada with her husband who is earning good. She is inviting our mother.

1. Her invitation letter specifies that they would support mother during her stay. Is is ok?

2. Also we are about to show her bank statement. The bank statement would be about cad 3K to 4K. My mother also has National Savings Center Certificates NSC s in her name. Are they supportive to show funds to stay in Canada.

3. The forms ask about the period of stay in Canada. How much should I mention. Her plans are flexible and she only needs access to Canada as we are going to apply for her sponsorship.

4. How much money we should show.

5. What should be the purpose of her visit. My sisters invitation letter shows that she intends to apply for a job and her son (infant) needs care at the time when she is out.

There is a lot of confusion regarding super visa/sponsorship/trv.

Thank you for reading and regards.

Your mother would need both her's and your sister's bank statements.

There is a lot of confusion regarding super visa/sponsorship/trv.

Super visa are for parents and grandparents who want to come and visit Canada for up to 2 years upon each entry on a temporary basis;
TRV (regular visit visas) is for anyone who wishes to come and visit Canada up to 6 months upon each entry on temporary basis;
Sponsorship are for anyone who wishes to come and live in Canada on permanent basis.

Her plans are flexible and she only needs access to Canada as we are going to apply for her sponsorship.

Then your sisters family should apply for sponsoring your mother.
Parents could not be sponsored from INSIDE of Canada.

Where do you live? If you live in your home country then even asking for staying in Canada during the sponsorship period would not work.

No, you should not say that she will be looking after a grandchild.

If it is her first travel to Canada she should ask visa for a month or two and NO MORE.

Thank you for all your replies.

I have applied 3 times for my mother for TRV canada.

First she was rejected. Second and third it was smooth sailing.

How much money should I show in comparison to the period of my stay?

Thanks again.

Who's stay? YOURS or your mother?

My mother's stay.

Apologies for the mistake

Hi

How did you do it last time, follow similar pattern will be better, although you sponsoring her is an additional benefit as that will further strengthen her family ties to her home country.

If she is planning a long term visit that is longer than 6 months than only apply for Super visa....else just apply for normal visa as super visa has an additional cost of medical insurance (4-5 K CAD)

Don't mention sponsoring at all in your application and also just state she wants to visit her daughter and grand child
